Abstract
The effect of filler alloy composition on post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) cracking in Inconel (trade name of the Special Metals group of companies) 738LC (IN-738LC) superalloy was investigated. Five filler alloys (IN-625, IN-718, FM-92, C-263 and Rene-41), containing varying concentrations of Al and Ti, were used to gas tungsten arc (GTA) weld IN-738LC superalloy specimens which were given two different preweld heat treatments. Additionally, autogenous (without filler) welds were also made on the same two preweld heat treated materials. The preweld heat treatments consisted of the standard industrial solution heat treatment (SHT) at 1120°C for 2 h in vacuum followed by argon quenching and a new heat treatment (UMT), developed by the authors to improve the heat affected zone (HAZ) cracking resistance of IN-738LC. The latter heat treatment comprised of solution treatment at 1120°C for 2 h followed by aging at 1025°C for 16 h and then water quenching. The welded specimens were given a PWHT consisting...
