Inconel 625 Superalloy

Inconel superalloys are used substantially in high-temperature environments. However, these alloys suffer from corrosion and wear. Attempts to overcome these drawbacks involve coating the metal with different techniques and materials. In this study, a new method with increasing potential was utilized. Using the mechanical alloying process in a planetary ball mill vial, alloying and the Al-Si coatings were concurrently achieved on Inconel 625 substrates. Different process control agent (PCA) ratios, milling ball diameters, and milling times were used to improve coating properties. Macro and microstructure, morphology, microhardness, and roughness values of samples were evaluated and compared. Additionally, crystallographic and cross-sectional properties were investigated in order to optimize the processing conditions. The results indicated that increasing the diameter of the grinding ball enhanced the hardness and thickness of these coatings and increased the roughness values. Longer processing time also enhanced the thickness with mechanical values. However, under these conditions, coating homogeneity decreased, and incompatible regions were formed on the coatings. PCA content brought a refined grain structure, hence showed better mechanical properties. On the other hand, processing time should be increased to get a denser and thicker protective layer against the operational conditions.

Resolution Observation

Structural appraisal of thin film magnetic media is very important because their magnetic characters such as magnetic hysteresis and recording behaviors are drastically altered by the grain structure of the film. However, in general, the surface of thin film magnetic media of magnetic recording disk which is process completed is protected by several-nm thick sputtered carbon. Therefore, high-resolution observation of a cross-sectional plane of a disk is strongly required to see the fine structure of the thin film magnetic media. Additionally, observation of the top protection film is also very important in this field.Recently, several different process-completed magnetic disks were examined with a UHR-SEM, the JEOL JSM 890, which consisted of a field emission gun and a high-performance immerse lens. The disks were cut into approximately 10-mm squares, the bottom of these pieces were carved into more than half of the total thickness of the disks, and they were bent. There were many cracks on the bent disks. When these disks were observed with the UHR-SEM, it was very difficult to observe the fine structure of thin film magnetic media which appeared on the cracks, because of a very heavy contamination on the observing area.

Inconel 625 Superalloy

The article presents research in the field of laser cladding of metal-matrix composite (MMC) coatings. Nickel-based superalloys show attractive properties including high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, high-temperature corrosion resistance and toughness, which makes them widely used in the industry. Due to the insufficient wear resistance of nickel-based superalloys, many scientists are investigating the possibility of producing nickel-based superalloys matrix composites. For this study, the powder mixtures of Inconel 625 superalloy with 10, 20 and 40 vol.% of TiC particles were used to produce MMC coatings by laser cladding. The titanium carbides were chosen as reinforcing material due to high thermal stability and hardness. The multi-run coatings were tested using penetrant testing, macroscopic and microscopic observations, microhardness measurements and solid particle erosive test according to ASTM G76-04 standard. The TiC particles partially dissolved in the structure during the laser cladding process, which resulted in titanium and carbon enrichment of the matrix and the occurrence of precipitates formation in the structure. The process parameters and coatings chemical composition variation had an influence on coatings average hardness and erosion rates.

In this investigation steel P355NH was successfully clad with Inconel 625 through the method of explosive welding. Explosively welded bimetal was subjected to the two separated heat treatment processes: stress relief annealing (at 620oC for 90 minutes) and normalizing (at 910oC for 30 minutes). In order to identify the microstructure of the joint and to investigate the influence of the heat treatment on it, the light and scanning electron microscope observations and microhardness analysis have been performed. In order to investigate the diffusion zone microstructure the scanning transmission electron microscope observation have been performed. It was stated that obtained joint has characteristic wavy-shape geometry with the presence of the melted zones and severe deformed grains of both joined materials. Strengthening of materials in joint zone was established with microhardness analysis. In both of the heat treatments the changes in the grain structure have been observed. The normalizing heat treatment has the most significant impact on the microstructure of the joint as well as the concentration of the chemical elements in the joint zone. It was reported that due to normalizing the diffusion zone has been formed together with precipitates in the joint zone.

In this study, the chemical composition of Al-0.8Mg-0.8Si alloys was modified with the addition of 0.1 and 0.2 wt.-% Zr. The billets were manufactured by direct chill casting method, homogenized at 560 °C for 6h and then extruded in order to obtain profiles having hollow and circular sections. Recrystallization layer (shell) became narrower due to the addition of Zr. This was attributed to the formation of very fine precipitates (Al3Zr) within the matrix. The mechanical properties showed that both yield and tensile strengths increased as a function of Zr content. Tensile fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscope and the fractographs reflected the effect of grain structure on the fracture behavior of studied alloys. All fracture surfaces indicated typical dimple ruptures, however, the size of dimples were observed as finer structures as a function of Zr content. As seen in cross-sectional graphs, as the Zr content increased the grain structure was refined due to Al3Zr precipitates. These fine precipitates caused the formation of fine and shallow dimples under loading.
