This research work has an aim to investigate the effect of precipitation aging temperatures of 845°C, 865°C, 885°C and 905°C for 24 hours after solutioning treatment at temperature of 1145°C for 4 hours on final microstructure of cast nickel base superalloy, grade Inconel 738, which is used as a material for turbine blades in land base gas turbine engines to generate electricity in power plants. Further interesting is also extended to study and evaluate the phase stability of precipitated gamma prime particles after long-term heating at tempeatures of 900°C and 1000°C for 200 hours of all received final microstructures after various reheat treatment conditions. From all obtained results, it was found that the higher precipitation aging temperatures provided the more coarsening size of both coarse and fine gamma prime particles. Furthermore, after long-term exposure at high temperatures, this resulted in an increasing of both area density and size of gamma prime particles.

Cast nickel based superalloy, Grade Inconel 738, is a material for turbine blades. Its rejuvenation heat treatment usually consist of solution treatment condition with temperature range of 1125-1205 oC for 2-6 hours. Then it is following with double aging process including primary aging at 1055oC for 1 hour and secondary aging at 845oC for 24 hours. However, the various selected temperature dropping program were performed during solution treatment to simulate the possible error of heating furnace. The maximum number of temperature dropping during solution treatment is varied from 1-3 times From all obtained results, the various temperature dropping during solution treatment conditions showed extremely the significant effect on the final rejuvenated microstructures and long-term gamma prime stability after heating at temperature of 900oC for 200 hours.
