In this study, effect of the building direction and post-processing heat treatments on the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of as-fabricatedInconel 718 alloys have been investigated. Inconel 718 samples were fabricated in two different building directions such that their longitudinalaxes wereeither parallel (horizontally built) or perpendicular (vertically built) to the building plate. During the selective laser melting (SLM)process, some undesired features can appear in the microstructure of the as-fabricated parts due to high temperature gradient and rapid solidification resulting from the nature of this additive manufacturing method. Therefore, possible post-processing heat treatments, including solutionizing and aging, were studied to eliminate these aspects in the as-fabricated parts to enhance the high temperature mechanical properties of the Inconel 718 alloy to be able tosatisfy the requirements of the demanding working conditions. For both as-fabricated and peak heat treated (PHT) samples, the texture of the horizontally built samples was commonly concentrated in (001) plane, which representsthe maximum heat flow,and hence easy grain growth direction. Additionally,the columnar grains hada slight tendency to also align along the vi(111) and (101) planes.Otherwise, the texture of the vertically built samples had an intense texture on (001) plane. After all heat treatment conditions, the average microhardness of the Inconel 718 alloy significantly increased,and the maximum microhardness of ~462 HV was achieved for PHT-8h condition (solutionizing at 1040 ºC for 2 h, subsequently aging at 700 ºC for 8 h followed by air cooling). A slight decrease in hardness was observed in aging heat treatments applied for more than 8 hours,since the formation of δ phase hindered the precipitation of the strengthening γphase by consuming Nb elementin the system. Among the applied heat treatment processes,PHT-8h condition, resulting inoptimum hardness, was selected for the samples to be tensile tested. The tensile test results performed at room temperature revealed that post-processing heat treatment can significantly increase the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) while reducing the elongation at failure for both horizontally and vertically built samples. Aging treatment promoted the formation of the finely distributed strengthening γand/or γ′ precipitates in the matrix, which serve as a barrier to dislocation movement, and therefore improve the mechanical properties. However, both the YS and UTS of the age hardened Inconel 718 alloy decreased when the tensile test wasperformed at high temperatures mainly because of the dissolution of the strengthening γprecipitates andthe formation of the δ phase in the matrix.

Effect of post fabrication aging treatment on the microstructure, crystallographic texture and elevated temperature mechanical properties of IN718 alloy fabricated by selective laser melting
Ozer, Seren; Bilgin, Güney Mert; Davut, Kemal; Esen, Ziya; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2022-08-01)
© 2022 Elsevier B.V.The effect of building direction and post fabrication aging treatment on the microstructure, crystallographic texture and high temperature mechanical properties of Inconel 718 (IN718) alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) method was investigated. After aging, arc-shaped structures seen in as-fabricated samples disappeared and converted into a mixture of columnar and equiaxed grains. Nano-sized γ″ and/or γ′ precipitates were formed upon aging; however, MC type carbides and Lav...
Effect of expandable graphite on flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane composites filled with huntite&hydromagnesite mineral
Guler, Turkan; Tayfun, Umit; Bayramlı, Erdal; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2017-01-10)
The effect of expandable graphite (EG) was studied on the flame retardant, thermal and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) containing huntite&hydromagnesite (HH). According to the flammability tests results, the synergistic interaction was observed between HH and EG. The maximum limiting oxygen index (LOI value was observed at a ratio of 1:1 (HH:EG) and the highest vertical burning test (UL-94) rating of V0 was observed at a ratios of 4:1, 3:2 and 1:1. The synergistic interaction betwe...
Effect of kaolin addition on alkali capture capability during combustion of olive residue
Batır, Özge; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2019-01-02)
The effect of kaolin addition on the combustion characteristics of olive residue was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) combined with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer in parallel with ash characteristics were studied by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer. The experiments were carried out by burning olive residue with 2%, 4% and 8% by wt. kaolin at 900 degrees C. Results indicate that the addition of kaolin led to a decrease in the rate of weight loss du...
Effect of swaging on microstructure and tensile properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys
DURLU, NURİ; Caliskan, N. Kaan; Bor, Sakir (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of swaging on the microstructure and tensile properties of high density two phase alloys 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe. Samples were liquid phase sintered under hydrogen and argon at 1480 degrees C for 30 min and then 15% cold rotary swaged. Measurement of microstructural parameters in the sintered and swaged samples showed that swaging slightly increased tungsten grain size in the longitudinal direction and slightly decreased tungsten grain size i...

Çalık, Feyziye; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-12-01)
The effects of build orientation on the crack propagation behavior of Ti6Al4V fabricated by elecron beam melting which is one of metal additive manufacturing methods were examined in this study. Firstly, Ti6Al4V blocks were manufactured at different building angles (00,300,450and 900) regarding as base plane using EBM. Subsequently, test specimens were machined from these blocks in compliance with ASTM E8, ASTM E399 and ASTM E647 standards for tensile, fracture toughness and crack growth rate specimen...
