Abstract

The objective of this test was to determine conditions for producing an iridescent colored oxide on Inconel 718 parts within a very limited schedule. The goal was to develop a process that would be compatible with the normal precipitation hardening treatment and, at the same time, produce a satisfactory film on surfaces that have been machined after precipitation hardening. Conditions for producing the film could not degrade the hardness of the Inconel 718. The purpose of the oxide was to reduce the possibility of wear and galling on bearing surfaces of the In-Vessel Handling Machine (IVHM) grapple mechanism during its pre-operational acceptance test.

Effect of Electropulsing on Surface Mechanical Behavior and Microstructural Evolution of Inconel 718 during Ultrasonic Surface Rolling Process

Journal Article Sun, Zhiyan; Ye, Yongda; Xu, Jinbao; ... - Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance

In the current study, the surface mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of Inconel 718 superalloy processed by the ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) and electropulsing-assisted ultrasonic surface rolling process (EP-USRP) were carefully analyzed. The experimental results suggested that after EP-USRP with a frequency of 400 Hz, significant enhancements in Vickers microhardness and nanoindentation hardness were achieved compared to those of USRP specimens, with increases of 13.6 and 9.9%, respectively. Moreover, the machined surface quality, wear resistance, and thermal stability were also improved after EP-USRP (400 Hz). These enhancements in mechanical behavior are closely related to the microstructural evolution induced by electropulsing. Undermore »« less

An Investigation of the Wear Performance of Aged Inconel 718 Superalloy by the Fuzzy Logic Approach

Journal Article Kalyon, Ali; Palavar, Osman; Özyürek, Dursun - Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance

In this study, the effects of δ, γ′ and γ″ phases on the microstructure and wear behavior of Inconel 718 alloy, produced by powder metallurgy technique, were analyzed experimentally and a fuzzy logic model was developed for the weight loss prediction after the wear tests. Aging process was carried out in two stages: firstly at 720 °C for 8 h and then at 620 °C for 6-10 h. Wear tests were performed at five different sliding distances (400-2000 m) for 1 ms{sup −1} sliding speed under 30 to 60 N loads. Weight loss prediction model was developed by using fuzzy logic method. SEM images of Inconel 718more »« less

OXIDATION OF INCONEL 718 IN AIR AT TEMPERATURES FROM 973K TO 1620K.

Technical Report GREENE, G; FINFROCK, C

As part of the APT project, it was necessary to quantify the release of tungsten from the APT spallation target during postulated accident conditions in order to develop accident source terms for accident consequence characterization. Experiments with tungsten rods at high temperatures in a flowing steam environment characteristic of postulated accidents revealed that considerable vaporization of the tungsten occurred as a result of reactions with the steam and that the aerosols which formed were readily transported away from the tungsten surfaces, thus exposing fresh tungsten to react with more steam. The resulting tungsten release fractions and source terms were undesirablemore »« less

Wear behavior of 2-1/4 Cr-1 Mo tubing against alloy 718 tube-support material in sodium-cooled steam generators

Technical Report Wilson, W

A series of prototypic steam generator 2-{1/4} Cr-1 Mo tube/alloy 718 tube support plate wear tests were conducted in direct support of the Westinghouse Nuclear Components Division -- Breeder Reactor Components Project Large Scale steam Generator design. The initial objective was to verify the acceptable wear behavior of softer, over-aged'' alloy 718 support plate material. For all interfaces under all test conditions, resultant wear damage was adhesive in nature with varying amounts of 2-{1/4} Cr-1 Mo tube material being adhesively transferred to the alloy 718 tube supports. Maximum tube wear depths exceeded the initially established design allowable limit of 127more »« less

Effect of grain structure on phase transformation events in Inconel 718

Journal Article Dahotre, N; McCay, M; McCay, T; ... - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

Nickel base superalloys generally obtain their maximum strength from [gamma][prime][Ni[sub 3](Al,Ti)] and [gamma][double prime][Ni[sub 3](Al,Ti,Nb)] age hardening precipitates. During welding the [gamma][prime] precipitation is very rapid and can lead to strain age cracking, which limits weldability. Thus, the weldable superalloys are limited in their Al and Ti content and hence in their ultimate strength. One method of increasing the ultimate strength of a superalloy, while avoiding strain age cracking, is the addition of Nb. This produces Ni[sub 3]Nb([delta]), and when used in conjunction with a limited amount of [gamma][prime], results in an increase in strength without strain age cracking problems.more »« less
