Effects of heat treatment on microstructures and tensile properties of IN718/TiC nanocomposite fabricated by selective laser melting

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing process that fabricates metallic parts in a layer-by-layer manner. IN718 is a nickel-based austenitic (γ) superalloy with broad applications in aerospace, chemical, and nuclear industries. In this study, fully-dense IN718-ma...

description Selective laser melting (SLM) is a powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing process that fabricates metallic parts in a layer-by-layer manner. IN718 is a nickel-based austenitic (γ) superalloy with broad applications in aerospace, chemical, and nuclear industries. In this study, fully-dense IN718-matrix composite reinforced by TiC nanoparticles were fabricated in-situ by SLM. As-built and heattreated IN718/TiC nanocomposite was compared against pure IN718 in terms of microstructures and tensile properties. Columnar and cellular microstructure morphologies in as-built pure IN718 and IN718/TiC nanocomposite were demolished by heat treatment. Microstructure refining and grain boundary dislocation pinning effect of TiC nanoparticles improved the tensile strength of as-built IN718/TiC nanocomposite. In both as-built IN718/TiC and pure IN718, γ and Laves phase are the major constituents while the other precipitates were suppressed by rapid solidification in SLM. Heat treatment dissolved Laves precipitates and grew γ'/γ'', δ, and MC/ M23C6 carbides that strengthened both pure IN718 and IN718/TiC nanocomposite. In heat-treated IN718/TiC, the TiC nanoparticles and M23C6 carbides degenerated from TiC counteracted the deficiency of δ precipitates. Therefore, heat-treated IN718/TiC nanocomposite had similar tensile strength but lower ductility than heat-treated pure IN718.
