Metrology and Morphology of γ’ and γ’’ Nanoparticles in Inconel 718 Measured by FIB-SEM Tomography

Article Preview

Abstract:

Quantitative analysis of γ' and γ" phase nanoparticles in Inconel 718 was performed using FIB-SEM tomography. Three-dimensional visualisation showed that γ' particles are spherical, while γ" precipitates are disc-shaped. The dependence of the particle size of both phases on the heat treatment applied was detected. It was proven that the FIB-SEM tomography is a very precise method for metrology and morphology investigation of nanoparticles precipitated in Inconel 718 superalloy.
