This unique collaboration has resulted in a third generation alloy being used by both companies in their commercial and military gas turbine engines. The alloy has been shown to have superior high temperature properties while also exhibiting robust processing and manufacturing characteristics which are difficult to attain in high strength, high volume precipitate strengthened superalloys. The alloy is capable of achieving 700 C or higher temperature requirements for the hot sections of turbine components, thus exceeding the 650 C temperature limits of the previous generation of powder metallurgy disk alloys such as Rene 95, IN100 and Rene 88FDT.April 2023 - ASMD/HPAD/AHAD - Addition of AM Inconel 718
The newest addition to the CINDAS materials properties databases is additively manufactured Inconel 718. IN-718 is a well-known superalloy which is a workhorse for use in high temperature applications such as turbine blades, ducting systems and engine exhaust systems in aircraft and rocket engines. It is also used in chemical and petroleum processing plants for vessels, pumps, valves and piping, as well as in industrial gas turbines, nuclear reactors and the oil and gas industries. This alloy also has cryogenic applications due to its ability to withstand brittle fracture at low temperatures. Studies of additively manufactured parts made of IN-718 have shown that mechanical properties are not sacrificed when process parameters are optimally selected and sometimes exceed those of cast or wrought parts. The development of powdered metals along with the advancement in industrial-grade metal 3D printing machines has advanced the ability of many industries to take advantage of additively manufactured parts from IN-718. AM for IN-718 parts is dominated by powder bed fusion (PBF) processes, used to manufacture complex shaped parts, and directed energy deposition (DED) processes typically used for reclamation and repair of IN-718 and other nickel alloy parts. Recently the binder jetting (BJT) process has been used to make IN-718 AM parts. This chapter of 211 pages with 128 references contains 212 data sets with 652 curves. Over 73 properties are presented with 36 independent variables.December 2022 - MPMD Transition to MCMD - MPMD/MCMD
