1. Introduction

Inconel 718 is a nickel-based superalloy extensively usedin the fabrication of critical components for turbine enginesbecause of its excellent mechanical properties at elevated tem-peratures and good corrosion resistance. Since these componentswithstand high alternating stresses and creep loads, the uniformmicrostructure with fine grains must be obtained by controllingforging processes. In the turbine disc application, the standardprocessing, the high strength processing and the direct age pro-cessing have been applied in order to reach the required prop-erties[1,2]. Of these methods, the direct age processing resultsin the highest strength and the finest grains[2,3]. The� phasepresent in Inconel 718 plays an important role in the control ofgrain size during hot working[3]. Although a number of stud-ies have focused on the hot deformation behavior of cast andsolution treated Inconel 718[4–17], a few reports dealt with theeffect of the� phase on hot deformation behavior.

2. Experimental

2.1. Material and sample preparation

The chemical composition of Inconel 718 used in the preinvestigation is shown inTable 1. The as-received material whot rolled bars of 30 mm diameter. These bars were soltreated at 1100◦C for 1 h, followed by water quenching to prduce a single-phase microstructure with an average grainof 96.8�m. In order to study the effect of the� phase on hodeformation behavior, these solution treated samples wereat 900◦C for 1–24 h.

initiated to precipitate at grain and twin boundaries. After 4 h,the � precipitates grew from the grain boundaries towards thecenter and appeared as long platelets. At the same time, the�precipitation also occurred within the grains. After 24 h, a largeamount of needle-shaped� phase was observed, while the�′′phase almost disappeared. The weight percentages of the�′′, �′and� phases formed during aging at 900◦C were determined bya quantitative phase analysis method of X-ray diffraction[18].The weight percentages of the�′′ and� phases as a functionof aging time are shown inFig. 1. It is seen that as the agingtime increased from 4 to 24 h, the weight percentage of the�phase increased, whereas the weight percentage of the�′′ phasedecreased.

Cylindrical compression specimens of 12 mm in height and8 mm in diameter were machined from the solution treated andaged materials. Grooves of 0.2 mm deep were machined into thends of the specimens to retain the graphite lubricant during thcompression tests.

2.2. Hot compression test

A computer-controlled, servo-hydraulic Thermecmaster-Zmachine was used for the compression tests. The specimewere induction-heated, and the temperature was controlled by

thermocouple welded at the mid-span of the specimen. In orderto reduce the friction, a graphite lubricant was used betweenthe specimen and the cross-head. Hot compression tests wereconducted in an argon atmosphere. The specimens were heatedto the deformation temperature at a rate of 10◦C/s and heldfor 2 min in order to obtain a stable temperature prior to defor-mation. The specimens were deformed to a true strain of 0.76at the given temperatures and strain rates. All specimens wereimmediately quenched to room temperature in less than 1 s afterdeformation. For different aging treatments, the used deforma-tion temperatures and strain rates are given inTable 2.

The deformed specimens were sectioned parallel to compres-sion axis at one-half of radius, ground and mechanically pol-ished. Specimens were examined optically, and the volume frac-tion of recrystallized grains was determined by point counting.

Linear statistical regression methods cannot be used directly todetermine the values ofα, A, n andQ because there are fourconstants ofα, A, n andQ in equation(2). In order to calculatethe values ofA, n andQ, we first gave a value ofα, and then cal-culated the values ofA, n, Q and the residual sum of squares byfitting the experimental data. The residual sum of squares shouldbe as a function ofα. The value ofα was estimated from the min-imum residual sum of squares to be 0.012 MPa−1. The value ofαrepresents the stress reciprocal upon which the material changesfrom power to exponential stress depend. After the optimumvalue ofα was determined, the values ofA,n andQ were found tobe:A = 4.8× 1014 s−1, n = 2.36 andQ = 443 kJ/mol. Thus, equa-tion (1) can be expressed as

IfXv = 10 and 90% are defined as thestart and finish of dynamic recrystallization, the distributivemap of dynamic microstructure can be presented, as shown inFig. 8. At low temperatures and high strain rates, only dynamicrecovery took place during hot deformation. Fully recrystallizedmicrostructures were obtained at elevated temperatures and lowstrain rates. The dynamically recrystallized grain size increasedwith increasing deformation temperature. Between two defor-mation conditions, the deformed austenite was partiallyrecrystallized.

It is noted from Fig. 2 that the stress–strain curves atlow temperatures and high strain rates exhibited a declinebeyond the peak. However, the observation of microstructurerevealed that dynamic recrystallization did not take place in thecases. This behavior can be explained by deformation heating[23].

Thestress–strain curves exhibited a similar pattern to those of solu-tion treated materials. The difference in the stress–strain curvesbetween solution treated and aged samples was that the flowstress of the aged samples dropped much faster and much lowerafter the peak stress than that of the solution treated samples.

The dependence of the peak stress on deformation temper-ature and strain rate is shown inFigs. 10 and 11, respectively.The peak stress increased with decreasing deformation tempera-ture and increasing strain rate. In comparison to solution treatedInconel 718, it is noted that the hot deformation behavior ofInconel 718 was affected by the� phase. The� phase decreasedthe peak stress, especially at high strain rates and at low tem-peratures (Fig. 11). Therefore, it is to say that the� phase had asoftening effect on the hot deformation of Inconel 718. The peak

For Inconel 718 with a large amount of needle� phase, the acti-vation energy of deformation was calculated to be 458 kJ/mol,which was slightly higher than that for solution treated Inconel718.

3.3. Effect of the γ ′′/γ ′ and δ phases on hot deformationbehavior

In order to study the effect of aging time on hot deforma-tion behavior, hot compression tests were performed on Inconel718 solution treated and then aged at 900◦C for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8,12 and 24 h at deformation temperatures of 900–1020◦C andstrain rates of 10−2 and 100 s−1. Typical stress–strain curvesare shown inFig. 16. According to the variation in stress–straincurves, it is possible to determine the influence of the�′′/�′and� phases formed during aging at 900◦C on hot deformationbehavior.

deformation on the peak stress. It is noted that the effect of agingtime on the peak stress depended on deformation temperature. Inthe case of deformation at 900◦C, the peak stress first increasedwith aging time and then decreased after about 2 h. In the case ofdeformation at high temperatures above 940◦C, the peak stressdecreased slowly with increasing aging time.

The effect of aging time on the peak stress can be attributedto the�′′/�′ and� phases prior to deformation. During aging at900◦C, the�′′/�′ phases first precipitated, and the amount ofthe �′′/�′ phases increased with increasing aging time. There-fore, the peak stress also increased increasing aging time due tothe Zener pinning effect of the�′′/�′ phases. The�′′/�′ phasespresent in Inconel 718 enhanced the peak stress. After 4 h, theamount of the�′′/�′ phases decreased with increasing aging time,whereas the amount of the� phase increased (Fig. 1). The changein the�′′/�′ and� phases resulted in a decrease in the peak stresswith aging time. At high deformation temperatures, the�′′/�′phases were dissolved during annealing prior to deformationsince the deformation temperatures were higher than the�′′/�′solvus. Therefore, the peak stress changed slightly with increas-ing aging time.

of the� phase. The effect of the� phase on the peak strain alsodepended on deformation temperature and strain rate. In the caseof deformation at a strain rate of 1 s−1 and temperatures of 900and 940◦C, a small amount of the� phase at grain boundariesdecreased the peak strain. After aging at 900◦C for 4 h, the�phase started to precipitate within the grains. Maybe becausethe effect of the� phase within the grains was less than that atgrain boundaries, the peak strain decreased slowly as the agingtime increased from 4 to 12 h. After aging for 12 h, the amountof � phase increased significantly with increasing aging time,and the� phase appeared as a cross-net, which resulted in afurther decrease in the peak strain. In the case of deformationat high temperatures and low strain rates, the dynamic recov-ery and recrystallization took place easily. Thus, the effect ofthe� phase on the peak strain decreased with decreasing theZparameter.

peak stress than that of solution treated Inconel 718. This indi-cates that the� phase promotes the flow softening. In order toillustrate the degree of decrease in the flow stress after the peakstress, the ratio of the flow stress at a strain of 0.6 to that at thepeak stress is defined as the extent of flow softening.Fig. 19shows the relationship between the extent of flow softening andaging time. It is seen that theσ0.6/σp value hardly varied withthe aging time when the aging time was less than 1 h. After1 h, theσ0.6/σp value decreased with increasing aging time. Thedecrease in theσ0.6/σp value can also be attributed to the effectof the � phase on the hot deformation of Inconel 718. The�phase present in Inconel 718 not only decreased the peak strainand the peak stress, but also promoted the flow softening afterthe peak stress.

4. Conclusions

(1) In the case of solution treated Inconel 718, the apparentactivation energy was determined to be 443 kJ/mol. The rela-tionship among the peak stress, deformation temperatureand strain rate can be described by the following equation:

grains and deformation temperature at different strainwas determined, and the dynamic microstructure disttion map at a strain of 0.76 was pictured for solution treInconel 718.

3) In the case of Inconel 718 with a large amount of th�phase, the apparent activation energy was calculated458 kJ/mol. The� phase present in Inconel 718 increaslightly the apparent activation energy. The relationamong the peak stress, deformation temperature andrate can be described by the following equation:

ε̇ = 4.5 × 1015[sinh(ασp)]2.19 exp
