“…Figure 5 shows the evolution of the simulated extrusion force versus time for two different values of the extrusion speed. An interpretation of the force evolution can be proposed; during the first phase of the process (1), (see Figure 5), the slope of the curve is constant and relatively low, up to the beginning of the second phase (2), where a rapid increase is observed. This is mainly related to the large plastic deformation occurring in the billet.…”

“…Inconel 718 is probably one of the most important among the nickel-based superalloys, due to its exceptional properties such as high oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, even at high temperatures. For this reason, Inconel 718 is currently widely employed in the aircraft engine industry [1,2]. Specifically, it is used in many critical engine components (i.e., diffusers, combustion chambers, shells of gas generators, rocket engines and gas turbines), accounting for over 30% of the total finished component mass of a modern aircraft engine [3].…”

Inconel 718 is a widely used superalloy, due to its unique corrosion resistance and mechanical strength properties at very high temperatures. Hot metal extrusion is the most widely used forming technique, if the manufacturing of slender components is required. As the current scientific literature does not comprehensively cover the fundamental aspects related to the process–structure relationships, in the present work, a combined numerical and experimental approach is employed. A finite element (FE) model was established to answer three key questions: (1) predicting the required extrusion force at different extrusion speeds; (2) evaluating the influence of the main processing parameters on the formation of surface cracks using the normalized Cockcroft Latham’s (nCL) damage criterion; and (3) quantitatively assessing the amount of recrystallized microstructure through Avrami’s equation. For the sake of modeling validation, several experimental investigations were carried out under different processing conditions. Particularly, it was found that the higher the initial temperature of the billet, the lower the extrusion force, although a trade-off must be sought to avoid the formation of surface cracks occurring at excessive temperatures, while limiting the required extrusion payload. The extrusion speed also plays a relevant role. Similarly to the role of the temperature, an optimal extrusion speed value must be identified to minimize the possibility of surface crack formation (high speeds) and to minimize the melting of intergranular niobium carbides (low speeds).
