The precipitation of intermetallic phases in Inconel 718 has been extensively studied. It has been found that the major intermetallic phases that precipitate in the austenite matrix are the metastable {gamma}{double_prime} (DO{sub 22} structure) and {gamma}{prime} (L1{sub 2} structure) phases and the equilibrium {delta} (DOa structure) phase. The {delta} phase can form during processing or during services. The precipitation of {delta} phase during aging has been studied in the solution treated Inconel 718. However, there are only a few studies on the precipitation of {delta} phase in cold rolled Inconel 718. R.P. Singh et al. found that more of the {delta} phase precipitated in the 50% cold rolled material compared to the 30% cold rolled material at lower temperatures, but they did not give information on the precipitation of {delta} phase in cold rolled Inconel 718 at higher temperature. The {delta} phase has a big influence on mechanical properties in Inconel 718. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the volume fraction of {delta} phase. Usually, the volume fraction of {delta} phase was measured by quantitative metallographic techniques and quantitative chemistry phase analysis. In the present work, the volume fraction of {delta} phase in cold rolled Inconel 718 at 910 C for different time is measured by X-ray diffraction techniques, and the influence of cold rolling on the morphology and the volume fraction of {delta} phase is investigated.
