The dissolution kinetics of the undesirable Laves phase in Inconel 718 was investigated through homogenization heat treatment. The activation energy and kinetic characteristics of Laves phase dissolution were determined, and the diffusion of Nb in Ni was identified as the key mechanism.
The Laves phase in the as-built Inconel 718 (IN718) superalloy is known as undesirable phase, which limits the industrial applications of the manufactured parts. Post-processing in the form of the homogenization heat treatment is known as an effective method to eliminate the deleterious Laves phase, where understanding its dissolution kinetics is crucial for optimization of the heat treatment schedule. Accordingly, the IN718 nickel based superalloy manufactured by the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), also known as selective laser melting (SLM), was homogenized at temperatures from 950 to 1150 & DEG;C for 30 to 120 s, and the Laves phase dissolution was studied by microstructural analysis, its kinetics was modeled by Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) analysis, and the model was validated by the second Fick's law. The activation energy for Laves phase dissolution was determined as-160 kJ/mol with an Avrami exponent of-1, which was attributed to the high dislocation density and fine microstructure of the LPBF material, and accordingly, the lattice and grain boundary diffusion of Nb in Ni were characterized as the underlying atomistic mechanisms during the dissolution of the Laves phase. These findings are based on the underlying atomistic mechanisms, which can shed light on the principles of dissolution kinetics of Laves phase in IN718 for additive manufactured parts. Moreover, the conducted comparison among LPBF, directed energy deposition (DED), and conventional casting indicated that the fabricating method and the initial segregation play key roles. In other words, due to its lower segregation degree, LPBF has faster Laves phase dissolution kinetics in comparison with other fabrication methods. & COPY; 2023 The Author(s).
