Flash-butt welded IN718 alloy joint obtains higher strength and ductility due to an improved heterogeneous microstructure distribution achieved by adjusting the upsetting deformation. Finer grains and more residual stress in the heat affected zone (HAZ) lead to increased strength and hardness. The coordination between the HAZ and the matrix enhances the ductility, resulting in a welded sample achieving the same high strength and ductility as the base material.
Higher strength and ductility are obtained in a flash-butt welded IN718 alloy joint due to an improved het-erogeneous microstructure distribution by adjusting the upsetting deformation. With the increase in upsetting deformation, the microstructure distribution of the characteristic zones is effectively adjusted which contains a complete recrystallization zone (RxZ), a thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and a coarse grain zone (CGZ). Finer grains and more residual stress are obtained in the heat affected zone (HAZ), which increases the strength and hardness. The improvement of the strength in the HAZ delays the concentration rate of local strain at the weld seam (WS) and enhances the coordination between the HAZ and the matrix. Therefore, the additional ductility is obtained by the coordination between the HAZ and the matrix, which results in a welded sample of UD0.86 achieving the same high strength and ductility as that of the base material.
