EFFECT OF HEAT TREATMENT ON STRUCTURE OF THE INCONEL 740 TYPE ALLOY

The Inconel 740 type nickel alloy was melted in a vacuum, medium frequency induction furnace. During melting the inert gas (argon) atmosphere was used Metal was poured into a ceramic mould based on ethyl silicate. Models were 300 mm long rods of 20 mm diameter. Castings were used as a test material to evaluate the structure in as-cast state and after heat treatment and to determine the mechanical properties. The effect of time-temperature parameters of the aging process of an Inconel 740 type alloy on the process of the precipitation and solution hardening was investigated.
