Abstract:Inconel 718 is a precipitation-hardening alloy, with a typical heat treatment consisting of solution annealing before a two-stage ageing process. Depending on the heat treatment procedure, strength or ductility can be enhanced, typically at the cost of the other. This study aims to determine a heat treatment procedure suitable for applications that require high ductility. Tensile tests of Inconel 718 processed by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing has been carried out on specimens subjected to diff… Show more
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.
