There is an increase in demand for new alloys in aerospace, power generation and nuclear industries. Nickel Based super alloys are known for having distinctive properties which are best suitable for these industries. In this study Nickel based super alloy Inconel 718, is used. Over the many years of intense research and development, these alloys have seen considerable evolution in their properties and efficiency. Behaviour of materials and its forming characteristics can be precisely analysed by determining anisotropic behaviour and mechanical properties. In the present study, tried to analyse the mechanical properties of Inconel 718 like yield strength (Ys), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), strain hardening exponent (n) and strain hardening coefficient (k). Uni-axial tensile tests were conducted on specimens with various parameters such as orientations, temperature and Strain rate. Anisotropy of Inconel 718 alloy was measured based on measurable parameters. The normal anisotropy parameter (f) and planer anisotropy (Δr) were measured and observed that the anisotropy parametres are incresed with the decrease in temperature.

The criterion and research technique of auto body panels stiffness are introduced in this work, and the finite element models (FEM) of cylindrical shallow shell that could represent auto body panels are established. Simulations of forming, springback and stiffness on cylindrical shallow shell are carried out. The simulations show great accuracy with the experimental results. Extensive simulated results of the influence laws of material mechanical properties on stiffness are achieved, such as yield strength, strain-hardening exponent, Young's modulus, anisotropy parameter and strength coefficient. With comparison of the weight coefficient of material mechanical properties on stiffness, it can be concluded that the Yong's modulus, strain-hardening exponent and yield strength are key influencing factors of stiffness. With the analysis of distribution of the strain after cylindrical shallow shell forming, plastic deformation during the forming process resulting in work-hardening of the material is one of the main reasons for increasing stiffness.

This paper focuses on the laser weldability of additively manufactured (AM) Inconel 718. The experiments of this research were conducted on different series of AM Inconel 718 alloy, i.e. as­-built, heat­ treated (HT), and HT after welding, and comprehensively characterized using optical microscope and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD). The weld morphology and microstruc­tural evolution of the fusion zone were recorded. The mechanical properties of the welded AM Inconel 718 were evaluated by tensile tests and hardness measurements. It was found that solidification crack and micropore defects are induced in the as­built AM Inconel 718. However, defect­free weld was promoted in the HT alloy. The changes in hardness profiles and tensile strength under the experimen­tal parameters were further reported. Homogenous hardness of 500 HV across the weld was obtained when HT was applied after the LW.

Austenitic stainless steel is one of the second generation advanced high strength steel which finds application in automobile, aerospace and cryogenic components. The component made of austenitic steel might operate in subzero temperature condition because of its excellent formability even at subzero temperature. In the present work several tensile tests were performed on austenitic stainless-steel sheet of thickness 1.2 mm at 0°C, -40°C, -80°C, -120°C and at different strain rates of 0.01/sec,0.001/sec,0.0001/sec. The resultant mechanical properties, like yield strength, tensile strength, elongation percent and strain hardening exponent, along with phase fractions and microstructural properties were analyzed to understand the reasons for change in mechanical properties, on comparing with room temperature properties. It was noticed that tensile strength is 635 Mpa, & strain hardening exponent is 0.38 at room temperature (25 °C) and tensile strength is 1236 Mpa, & strain hardening exponent is O.49 at -120°C. Similarly, XRD characterization revealed that strain induced martensite increased from zero percent at 25°C (room temperature) to 57 percent at-120°C Similarly EBSD characterization revealed that grain average misorientation which also increased from room temperature to-120°C.

The effect of TiB2 particles content (10–40 wt.%) on the microstructure, mechanical properties and tribological properties of TiB2-reinforced Inconel 718 alloy composite coatings by laser cladding was investigated. From the perspective of solidification thermodynamics and dynamics, when the TiB2 particles content increases from 10 to 30 wt.%, the cooling rate increases for the increase in thermal conductivity and thermal diffusion coefficient, leading to the decrease in dendrite size, and the uniformity of TiB2 particles becomes better for the decrease in the critical capture speed of the solid–liquid interface, causing the improvement of microhardness and tribological properties. However, when the TiB2 particles content is too high (40 wt.%), the cooling rate decreases for the increase in heat released by solidification, so the dendrite size increases, and the Marangoni convection is too weak to drive the rearrangement of TiB2 particles, leading to the heterogeneous microstructure, large fluctuation of microhardness and the deterioration of tribological properties. When the TiB2 particles content is 30 wt.%, the composite coating has the finest and densest dendrites and evenly distributed TiB2 particles, the bonding strength is as high as 1.714 GPa, the microhardness is up to 844.33 HV0.2, which is 2.98 times that of Inconel 718 alloy coating, and the friction coefficient and the wear rate are 0.355 and 9.12 × 10−7 g/(N·m), which are 22.99% and 83.86% lower than those of the Inconel 718 alloy coating.

Oliver and Pharr’s method (O&P’s method) is an efficient and popular way of measuring the hardness and Young’s modulus of many classes of solid materials. However, there exists a range of errors between the real values and the calculated values when O&P’s method is applied to materials not included in the basic assumption proposed initially. In this article, the dimensional analysis theorem and the finite element method are applied to evaluate errors for high elastic (E/σY → 5) to full plastic (E/σY→ 1000) materials with different strain-hardening exponents from 0 to 0.5. A new method is proposed to correct errors obtained using O&P’s method. The numerical simulation results show that the errors obtained using O&P’s method, given in the form of charts, are mainly dependent on the ratio of the reduced Young’s modulus to the yield stress (i.e., Er/σY) and the strain-hardening exponent, n, for an indenter with a fixed included angle. The two mechanical properties, which can be extracted from the load–depth curves of two indenters with different included angles, are used to correct the errors in the hardness and Young’s modulus of the indented materials produced by O&P’s method.
