Low temperature ${\delta}$-precipitation phenomenon below 2-step aging ($718^{\circ}C$, $8hr+621^{\circ}C$, 8 hr) temperature of cold drawn Inconel 718 alloy wire was investigated. The investigation was carried out on wires with a cold drawn ratio of 0, 20, 50 and 70% using OM, SEM, XRD, TEM, and DSC. In microstructures of 50 and 70% drawn wire, many precipitates were found along the grain boundaries and the twin boundaries in deformation band. From the results of the XRD and TEM analysis, the precipitates were identified as plate-like ${\delta}$-phase. From the results of the DSC analysis, it was also found that a temperature of ${\delta}$-precipitation decreases with an increase of the cold drawn ratio. We concluded that cold drawing of inconel 718 wire promotes the ${\delta}$-precipitation, and under the condition of a high drawing ratio, the ${\delta}$-phase could be precipitated at a temperature below the aging temperature ($718^{\circ}C$).

Inconel 718, a typical ultraheat-resistant alloy, is recognized as a useful component in aircraft parts owing to its high-temperature strength and good chemical stability. Although many studies have been conducted to determine the proper drill shape to overcome the poor machinability when drilling into Inconel 718, most have involved a cutting process program known as AdvantEdge, as an experimental approach requires much time and money. In this study, our purpose is to optimize the drill shape for efficient drilling by conducting a trust force and temperature analysis using AdvantEdge. In order to achieve this purpose, the reliability of the results of the analysis was verified and by applying design of experiment an analysis of the geometric parameters of the drill shape considering the thrust force and temperature was conducted.

Flow forming is an eco-friendly and high-efficiency plastic deformation process with fewer chips during a process which is specifically used to manufacture seamless tubular products like tire wheels, rocket motor cases etc. On the development of mortar barrel using Inconel718 tube, some flow formed products had dimensional errors on their thickness. In this study, our purpose is to optimize the process conditions with the smallest dimensional error. In order to find an optimum process condition, 2D axisymmetric FEM simulation analyses with Taguchi method were conducted. Geometric variables (attack angle, flatting angle, roller nose radius) and operating parameters (depth of forming, feed rate) are considered as control factors. Forward flow forming with single roller was first analyzed to determine the effective factors using AFDEX software and attack angle of the roller was identified as the most influential factor. Also, the nose radius of the rollers was confirmed as a significant factor in multi-rollers flow forming system. The effect of rollers offset values are also studied and finally, we proposed optimal conditions to improve the accuracy of flow forming process with Inconel718 tube for mortar barrel manufacturing.

Inconel 718 is nickel-based and is increasingly being used as a key component in the nuclear, aerospace, and chemical industries which require high fatigue strength and oxidation, because of its excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance. It is a heat-resistant alloy which has excellent mechanical properties; however, material deformation, cracking, and shaking occur because of the high cutting temperature accumulated on the cutting surface during cutting processing, and heat accumulated at the insert boundary. Owing to these characteristics, various studies have been conducted, such as developing a tool exclusively for non-deletion, analyzing tool wear, and developing a tool cooling system. However, the optimization of the cutting process is still insufficient. In this study, the optimal process conditions were derived experimentally by cutting conditions according to the insert type during the cutting of Inconel 718.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the helix angle of endmilling cutter on the cutting characteristics of inconel 718 in up endmilling. To this end cutters with helix angle of $20^\circ$, $30^\circ$, $40^\circ$ and $50^\circ$ degree have been prepared. And a modified cutting force model in up end milling process is presented. Using this cutting force components of 4-tooth endmills with various helix angles have been predicted. Predicted values of cutting force components are well coincide with the measured ones. As helix angle increases overlapping effects of the active cutting edges increase.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of the laser power, the material thickness, comer angles, and the loop size on the formation of the comer in the cutting of Inconel 718 super-alloy sheet using high-power CW Nd: YAG laser. In order to investigate the influence of comer angles and loop sizes on the melted area and the formation of comer in the sharp comer, angular cutting tests and loop cutting tests were carried out. The results of the angular cutting tests were shown that the melted area is minimized and the melting mode is changed from nose melting in the thickness direction to the secondary melting induced by the attached dross when the comer angle is $90^{\circ}$. Through the results of loop cutting tests, the variation of the melted area and the comer shape in the sharp comer according to the loop size were examined. In addition, it was shown that a proper loop size is approximately 3 mm. The results of above experiments will be reflected on the knowledge base to generate optimal cutting path of the laser.

Titanium carbide (TiC) reinforced Inconel 718 matrix composites were successfully fabricated by a novel liquid pressing infiltration process. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated 55 vol% TiC-Inconel 718 composite are analyzed. The composite exhibits superior mechanical properties, such as hardness and compressive strength as compared with Inconel 718. It is believed that Mo and Nb, which are alloying elements in the matrix, diffuse and solidify into the TiC reinforcement, resulting in generation of core-rim structure with excellent interfacial properties.

In this study, a mechanistic model of cutting force components in up and down end milling process is presented. Using this cutting force model of 4-tooth endmills with various helix angles, cutting force variation of inconel 718 has been predicted. Predicted values of cutting force components are coincide well with the measured ones. As helix angle increases, overlapping effects of the active cutting edges increase. In up endmilling the magnitudes of radial and feed cutting force componts FX and FY are lowest when the helix angle is $40\{\circ}$, but in down endmilling the magnitudes of these values increase slightly as helix angle becomes large.

The combustion chamber of a diesel engine is often exposed to a more serious wear and corrosion environment than other parts of the engine because its temperature increases as a result of using heavy oil of low quality. Therefore, repair and built-up welding methods must be performed on worn or corroded parts of the piston crown, exhaust valve, etc. from an economical point of view. In this study, Inconel 718 filler metal was used in repair welding on the groove of a forged steel specimen for a piston crown, along with built-up welding on the surface of another forged steel specimen. Then, the corrosion characteristics of the weld metal zone for the repair welding and the deposited metal zone for the built-up welding were investigated using electrochemical methods in a 35% H₂SO₄ solution. The deposited metal zone indicated better corrosion resistance than the weld metal zone, showing a nobler corrosion potential, higher impedance, and smaller corrosion current density. It is considered that metal elements with good corrosion resistance were generally included in the filler metal, and these elements were also greatly involved in the deposited meta by built-up welding, whereas the weld metal consisted of metal elements mixed with both the filler metal and base metal elements because of the molten pool produced by the repair welding. Finally, it is considered that the hardness of the weld metal was increased by the repair welding, whereas the built-up welding improved the corrosion resistance of the deposited metal.
