Grain boundary {gamma}{double_prime} precipitation and niobium segregation in Inconel 718
- Lehigh Univ., Bethlehem, PA (United States). Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics
In a previous study, the surface enrichment and grain boundary segregation of niobium in the Inconel 718 single crystal and polycrystals were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Considerable segregation of niobium, about three to four times higher than that in bulk, was observed at the grain boundaries of the polycrystalline alloy. The observed niobium segregation was thought to be associated with the preferential formation of {gamma}{double_prime}-Ni{sub 3}Nb precipitates at the boundaries during aging. In this paper, the results of a transmission electron microscopic (TEM) study of grain boundary {gamma}{double_prime} precipitates and their relation to niobium segregation in the Inconel 718 are reported.
