Influence of filler metals and welding techniques on the structure–property relationships of Inconel 718 and AISI 316L dissimilar weldments

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to weld the precipitation hardened Nickel based super alloy Inconel 718 and austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L using Continuous Current Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (CCGTAW) and Pulsed Current Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (PCGTAW) process employing ER2553 and ERNiCu-7 fillers. Microstructure examination using optical and SEM analysis clearly witnessed the formation of unmixed zone at the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) of Inconel 718 for all the joints. The studies showed the absence of deleterious phases in the CCGTA and PCGTA weldments employing ERNiCu-7. Tensile studies corroborated that the fracture occurred at the parent metal of AISI 316L in all the cases. It was inferred from the present study that PCGTA weldments employing ERNiCu-7 exhibited better metallurgical and mechanical properties. This study articulated the effect of filler metals on the structure–property relationships of the weldments.

Grain size modeling of a Ni-base superalloy using cellular automata algorithm

Nickel-base superalloys are used in highly demanding applications such as energy and aerospace industries. These alloys present good corrosion resistance, weldability and mechanical stability at high temperatures. Numerical methods are commonly used to predict the mechanical and microstructural behavior of heat resistant alloys. The aim of the present work was to model recrystallized grain size evolution under isothermal conditions using the cellular automata (CA) technique. The CA model was applied to simulate hot compression of Inconel 718 nickel-base alloy at 980 °C and 1020 °C. A finite element analysis was conducted to acquire input parameters to the model such as strain and strain rate. Hardening and recovery coefficients were calculated in order to represent the competitive effects during deformation. The influence of local changes of initial grain with fully and partial recrystallized microstructures were simulated by CA and compared with isothermal hot compression results. The model was able to comprehensively predict necklace type microstructures. The average grain size was generally in good agreement with the experimental data.

Effect of weld cooling rate on Laves phase formation in Inconel 718 fusion zone

Inconel 718 (2 mm thick) was welded using argon and helium gas shielded tungsten arc welding process with a filler metal. Both constant current and compound current pulse modes were applied and the cooling rates calculated. The dependence of Laves phase formation, dendrite arm spacing and niobium segregation ratios in fusion zone on the nature of shielding gases and current was studied. The maximum instantaneous weld cooling rate was achieved for the combination of Helium shielding gas and compound current pulse mode. This ultimately resulted in reduction of laves phase, segregation of niobium and dendrite arm spacing in the fusion zone.
