Influence of Temperature and Strain Rate on Dynamic Softening Processes in Allvac® 718Plus™

Article Preview

Abstract:

The efficiency of gas turbine engines can improved by an increase of the working temperature. As a consequence Allvac® 718Plus™ was developed to enhance the high temperature properties. Since the performance of this alloy is strongly related to the microstructure the knowledge of the softening processes is important to develop precise microstructure evolution models. Specimens were deformed at different temperatures (950°-1050°C) and strain rate (0.1s-1 – 10s-1) to strains of 0.2-1.5. The microstructures obtained were analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the scanning electron microscope to investigate the softening mechanisms at the respective forming conditions.
