The Influence of Heat Treatments on the Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Additively Manufactured Inconel 939

This study investigated the effect of heat treatment variations on the microstructure and tensile properties of laser powder bed fused Inconel 939 manufactured via laser powder bed fusion. Three different heat treatment schedules, all of which comprise stress relief, hot isostatic pressing, solution annealing, and aging, were followed, and resulting changes in microstructure were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Tensile tests were conducted on specimens subjected to different heat treatments to evaluate the mechanical properties at room temperature. Microstructural results showed that solution treatment at 1190 °C for 4 h led to better removal of dendritic microstructure, while second-step aging at 850 °C resulted in monomodal distribution of precipitates. However, the second-step aging temperatures from 750 to 800 °C resulted in bi-modal distribution. The optimal heat treatment schedule, which yielded a superior combination of strength and ductility, involved solution treatment at 1190 °C for 4 h and two-step aging at 1000 °C for 6 h and 800 °C for 4 h.

High Temperature Tensile Properties of Unidirectional Hi-Nicalon/Celsian Composites In Air

High temperature tensile properties of unidirectional BN/SiC-coated Hi-Nicalon SiC fiber reinforced celsian matrix composites have been measured from room temperature to 1200 C (2190 F) in air. Young's modulus, the first matrix cracking stress, and the ultimate strength decreased from room temperature to 1200 C (2190 F). The applicability of various micromechanical models, in predicting room temperature values of various mechanical properties for this CMC, has also been investigated. The simple rule of mixtures produced an accurate estimate of the primary composite modulus. The first matrix cracking stress estimated from ACK theory was in good agreement with the experimental value. The modified fiber bundle failure theory of Evans gave a good estimate of the ultimate strength.

Heat Treatment Effects on the Tensile Properties and Microstructures of a SiC/RBSN Composite in Nitrogen

The room-temperature tensile properties and constituent microstructures of a unidirectionally reinforced SiC/reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) composite have been investigated after heat treatments at 1400, 1600, or 1800 C in nitrogen for up to 100 hr. The composite consisted of approximately 24 vol% of aligned 140 micron diameter, continuous length, chemically vapor deposited SiC fibers in an approximately 40% porous silicon nitride matrix. The composites heat treated at 1400 C for up to 100 hr showed elastic modulus, first matrix cracking strength, and ultimate tensile strength values similar to those of the as-fabricated composites, but those heat treated for 1 hr beyond this temperature displayed losses in all three properties. Recrystallization of the SiC fibers, reaction between the carbon-rich interface coating on the fibers and the RBSN matrix, and dissociation of the RBSN matrix are the reasons for the loss of mechanical properties.

Transverse and longitudinal tensile properties at 760 C of several oxide dispersion strenghened nickel-base alloys

The transverse and longitudinal tensile properties of the oxide dispersion strengthened nickel base alloys MA-793, MA-754, MA-755E, and MA-6000E were determined at 760 C. Transverse tensile strengths were comparable to longitudinal strengths. Transverse ductility levels generally were less than two percent elongation. Both tensile and yield strengths increased with increasing strain rate over the range 0.001 to 0.05 per second. Ductility was not strain rate sensitive, but related to grain size and grain aspect ratio. The fracture mode of most alloys changed from transgranular for longitudinally oriented specimens to intergranular for transverse specimens. Transverse properties of DM MAR M-200 + Hf were also determined for comparison.

Transverse and longitudinal tensile properties at 760 C of several oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-base alloys

The transverse and longitudinal tensile properties of the oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-base alloys were determined at 760 C. The alloys with small amounts of gamma prime have strength levels suitable for turbine vane applications, while other highly alloyed, gamma prime strengthened superalloys have strengths typical of turbine blade materials. These alloys were produced by mechanical alloying and extrusion and the turbine blade alloys were also directionally recrystallized. Resultant grain aspect ratios varied from 1:1 to over 20:1. Longitudinal tensile strengths ranged from 285 to 1175 MPa, while longitudinal elongations were in excess of 4 percent for all alloys. Transverse tensile strengths were comparable to longitudinal strengths, but transverse ductility levels were generally less than 2 percent elongation. Tensile and yield strengths increased with increasing strain rate over the range 0.001 to 0.05 per second. Ductility in both orientations was not strain rate sensitive but could be related to grain size and grain aspect ratio.

The Cryogenic Tensile Properties of an Extruded Aluminum-Beryllium Alloy

Basic mechanical properties; i.e., ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, percent elongation, and elastic modulus, were obtained for the aluminum-beryllium alloy, AlBeMet162, at cryogenic (-195.5 C (-320 F) and -252.8 C (-423 F)) temperatures. The material evaluated was purchased to the requirements of SAE-AMS7912, "Aluminum-Beryllium Alloy, Extrusions."
