The article presents results of selective laser melting of Inconel 718 superalloy. It was studied phase microstructure of the material obtained by selective laser melting and also the material after heat treatment. The phase composition of the initial powder material, the specimens after selective laser melting before and after heat treatment was studied. The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of the specimens was shown. It was studied the mechanical behavior of the manufactured specimens before and after heat treatment at room and elevated temperatures as well. The results of impact tests and fractography of the specimens are presented. Mechanical tests showed that the specimens after heat treatment have decent mechanical properties comparable to hot-rolled material. Fractography showed that the obtained material is characterized by ductile failure mode with local elements of brittle fracture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
