- Electron beam melting (EBM) produced Alloy 718 was subjected to thermal post-treatment involving hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) and heat treatment (HT). Subjecting the material to HIPing at 1120 °C led to significant densification. Study of microstructure evolution during HT (comprising of solution treatment and aging) showed possibility of significantly shortening the HT duration, particularly the time for two-step aging from the standard (8 h + 8 h) long cycle to possibly a shortened (4 h + 1 h) cycle. Another approach for shortening the post-treatment cycle by integrating the HIPing with HT inside the HIP vessel was also successfully implemented. The above observations were further substantiated by tensile response of the material subjected to the varied post-treatment cycles; out of all the post-treatments steps, tensile behaviour was observed to be mainly affected by the aging treatment. Further prospects for shortening the post-treatment protocol are also described, such as shortening of HIPing duration for the typical 4 h to 1 h cycle as well as possible elimination of solution treatment step from the entire post-treatment protocol specifically when prior HIPing is performed. Heat treatment with prior HIPing was found to be crucial for improving fatigue life, because subjecting EBM Alloy 718 to only HT, irrespective of the short or standard long protocol, rendered inferior fatigue response.

- Alloy 718 samples were fabricated by electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufacturing process. The work focused on systematic investigation of response of the material to various thermal post-treatments, involving hot isostatic pressing (HIPing), solution treatment (ST) and two-step aging, to tailor post-treatment procedure for EBM-built Alloy 718. Results showed that HIPing at lowered temperature can be used for attaining desired defect closure while preserving grain size. Subjecting the material to ST, with or without prior HIPing, mainly caused precipitation of δ phase at the grain boundaries with prior HIPing decreasing the extent of δ phase precipitation. Moreover, results suggest that the utility of ST, with prior HIPing, could be dictated by the need to achieve a certain δ phase content, as the typically targeted homogenization after ST had already been achieved through HIPing. Detailed investigation of microstructural evolution during subsequent aging with and without prior HIPing showed that a significantly shortened aging treatment (‘4 + 1’ h), compared to the ‘standard’ long treatment (‘8 + 8’ h) traditionally developed for conventionally produced Alloy 718, might be realizable. These results can have significant techno-economic implications in designing tailored post-treatments for EBM-built Alloy 718.
