Microstructural Analysis of Laser-Beam-Welded Directionally Solidified INCONEL 738
TL;DR: In this article, a laser welding of a directionally solidified INCONEL 738 superalloy (DS IN738) was investigated, and microstructural analysis of the fusion zone (FZ) and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) revealed that cracking occurred mainly in HAZ with only some cracks being extended into the FZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in Laser Weldability of INCONEL 738 Superalloy through Microstructural Modification
TL;DR: In this paper, a microstructural study of laser-beam-welded IN 738 superalloy was performed to better understand the causes of heat-affected zone (HAZ) cracking and to determine an improved approach of alleviating the weldability problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural Response of Directionally Solidified René 80 Superalloy to Gas-Tungsten Arc Welding
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural response of directionally solidified Rene 80 superalloy to gas-tungsten-arc (GTA) welding was investigated, and it was found that the grain boundaries embrittled the grain boundary in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and caused microfissuring along the liquated grain boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
On preventing HAZ cracking in laser welded DS Rene 80 superalloy
TL;DR: In this paper, a preweld heat treatment that reduced grain boundary liquid film thickness did not result in a lower HAZ cracking, which can be related to concomitant reduction in the ability of the base alloy to relax welding stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-solidus melting of directionally solidified Rene 80 superalloy during solution heat treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure of directionally solidified Rene 80 superalloy in the standard solution heat treated condition was examined, and sub-solidus incipient melting was observed, which was found to be caused by the liquation of terminal solidification reaction products present in front of the γ-γ′ eutectic in the as-cast alloy.
