The influence of a modified heat treatment (MHT) and the standard heat treatment (SHT) on the damage tolerance of alloy 718 turbine disk material has been studied over a range of temperature -- from room temperature to 650 C. The influence of these heats treatments on creep, low-cycle fatigue (LCF), notch sensitivity, cyclic stability, and fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) properties has been studied. The microstructure developed through the MHT sequence is shown to be damage tolerant over the temperature range studied. Shot peening leads to a marked improvement in the LCF crack initiation life of the MHT material relative to the SHT material at 650 C. Serrated grain boundaries formed through controlled precipitation of grain-boundary [delta] phase are beneficial to elevated-temperature FCGRs. The [delta]-phase precipitates formed at an angle to the grain boundaries do not make the material notch sensitive.
