SLM Inconel 718 Thin Section Study

As additive manufacturing techniques develop, the effect of build part geometry on material properties is of increasing interest. Understanding the effects of thin wall geometries on the properties of the material produced via SLM is critical to effectively evaluating components for certification. This study investigates the tensile properties of additively manufactured Inconel 718 as a function of wall thickness and discusses potential impacts of the measuring technique on the test results.

Microstructural Analysis Across a Hybrid Inconel 718 Turbopump Inducer Following a Scheduled Heat Treatment Process

Additive Manufacturing (AM) provides a low-cost method to fabricate near net shape complex parts. In this study, a turbopump inducer was fabricated using blown powder direct energy deposition (DED) of Inconel 718 to form the fins on a wrought hub. By utilizing this combination process, more cost-effective methods are possible for complex parts. A series of heat treatments were applied to the assembly per ASTM F330.

Stress Corrosion Evaluation of Inconel X-750 for the International Space Station Environmental Control and Life Support System

Inconel X-750 alloy was evaluated for stress corrosion in support of the International Space Station Environmental Control and Life Support System. Round tensile specimens that were obtained from 0.25 in thick material successfully completed 365 days of exposure to baseline pretreat, baseline brine, alternate pretreat, alternate brine, and 3.5% NaCl alternate immersion without any failures at stresses of up to 90% of the yield strength. Posttest evaluations consisting of metallography and tensile testing did not indicate stress corrosion susceptibility.

Asbestos and Inconel combined to form hot-gas seal

Hot-gas seal prevents warpage tendencies in large flange joints exposed to high temperatures, such as those present in large space vehicle engine exhausts. Two Inconel wire mesh cores are held in place by an asbestos cloth cover that acts as a spacer to form the seal.

Weld microfissuring in Inconel 718 minimized by minor elements

Manganese, silicon, and magnesium markedly reduce the tendency of Inconel 718 to weld microfissuring. By combining a manganese, 0.20 percent by content, with silicon, greater than 0.25 percent content, or by adding 20 ppm of magnesium, the weld microfissuring decreased in the standard alloy.

Hot-cracking studies of Inconel 718 weld- heat-affected zones

Hot ductility tests, gas-tungsten-arc fillerless fusion tests, and circle patch-weld-restraint tests were conducted on Inconel 718 to better understand and correlate the weldability /resistance to hot cracking/ of the alloy. A correlation of the test results with composition, heat-treat condition, grain size, and microstructure was made.

Tensile and fatigue properties of Inconel 718 at cryogenic temperatures

Tests to determine the tensile and fatigue properties of Inconel 718 at cryogenic temperatures show that the alloy increases in strength at low temperatures, with very little change in toughness. The effect of surface finish and grain size on the fatigue properties was also determined.

Improved nickel plating of Inconel X-750

Electroplating technique with acid pickling provides a method of applying nickel plating on Inconel X-750 tubing to serve as a wetting agent during brazing. Low-stress nickel-plating bath contains no organic wetting agents that cause the nickel to blister at high temperatures.

Stainless steel 301 and Inconel 718 hydrogen embrittlement

Conditions and results of tensile tests of 26 Inconel 718 and four cryoformed stainless steel specimens are presented. Conclusions determine maximum safe hydrogen operating pressure for cryogenic pressure vessels and provide definitive information concerning flaw growth characteristics under the most severe temperature and pressure conditions
