Abstract
The precipitation sequence of Inconel 718 alloy, aged at $760^{\circ}C$ for times up to 200 hr, has been studied by means of electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. The dominant hardening phase was identified as the metastable, body-centered tetragonal $Ni_3Nb$ Phase in the morphology of platelets. The other phases identified in the aging sequence were (Nb, Ti)C and the stable acicular phase of orthorhombic $Ni_3Nb.$ The observations were made on the interaction of dislocations with the precipitates in the underaged condition. The shearing of the precipitates and the planar defects, e.g., stacking faults on i1101 planes of the intermetallic phase, were observed.
$760^{\circ}C에서$ 최고 200시간까지 시효열처리한 Inconel 718 합금의 석출과정을 전자현미경적방법과 X선회절법으로 조사하였다. 이 합금의 주경화상은 작은 석상으로 된, 준안정적인 체심정방계의 $Ni_3Nb상이었며,$ 그밖에 판별된 석출상은 (Ni,T)C와 침상으로 된, 안정상인 사방계의 NifNb상 이었다. 미시효상태에서 전위와 석출상과의 상호작용을 관찰했으며, 그 결과 석출상의 변형과 석출상의 [110]면에 형성된 적층결함층을 관측할 수 있었다.
