Microstructural and Mechanical Effects of Thermo-Mechanical Processing on ATI 718Plus® Contoured Rings

Article Preview

Abstract:

ATI 718Plus® is a nickel-base superalloy designed to promote resistance and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. Beside these properties, this material presents superior formability during forging operations, making ATI 718Plus® a suitable material for the manufacture of non-rotating and rotating components for jet engine and land-based turbines. Present contribution summarizes main results when several contoured rings were produced by ring-rolling processes considering selected parameters as temperature and deformation ratio. Effect of solution and precipitation heat treatments on ATI 718Plus® microstructure and mechanical properties are also reported. These results include tensile testing at elevated temperature and stress-rupture testing. Microstructural evaluations performed by optical microscopy and electronic microscopy, complement reported results.
