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.

High molybdenum high strength stainless steels can contain the so-called Chi phase (Fe36Cr12Mo10). The presence of this phase, which normally occurs at grain boundaries, depletes the chromium content leading to intergranular corrosion. This may cause alloy embrittlement during long term use. The presence of such phase has proven to be highly sensitive to alloy processing parameters such as the cooling rate after a final heat treatment. The present work provides a model to quantify the effects of processing parameters aimed at controlling the Chi phase. The model is based on nucleation and growth classical theories involving capillarity effects for the early stages; it is applied to a range of heat treatment conditions and compared to experimental results.

Abstract Rene 65 is a nickel-based superalloy used in aerospace components such as turbine blades and disks. The microstructure in the as received condition of the superalloy consists of ~40% volume fraction of gamma prime precipitates, which gives such a high strength that thermomechanical processing is problematic. The goal of this study was to develop a heat treatment for manufacturing of Rene 65 components by changing the size distribution and volume fraction of those precipitates and lowering the strength. Gamma prime in this alloy is observed in three sizes, ranging from a few μm to tens of nm. For the design of the heat treatments, Design of Experiments (DOE) has been used; more specifically Taguchi’s L8 matrix. The four factors that are examined are cooling rate, hold temperature, hold time and cooling method to room temperature. The levels of the factors were two (high and low) with replication. Microstructures were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy and mechanical properties by Vickers microhardness testing.

Abstract Manufacturers of high volume, high strength, precision automotive fasteners have constantly faced increased product quality standards, delivery, and price pressures over the last decade. These pressures force manufactures to seek out new developments and creative methods for improving their long-term competitive positions. This paper will discuss two areas of mesh belt heat treatment system development that have been successfully integrated and exploited by manufactures to maintain their competitive position. Methods for heat treating threaded fasteners have evolved significantly over the last 20 years. Earlier versions of low capacity shaker hearth, rotary hearth and plate belt systems have now become extinct in favour of modern highly efficient, continuous soft handling mesh belt heat treatments systems. Design innovations for improving the accuracy of tempering furnace tolerances bands and integrating inline zinc phosphate removal systems will be discussed along with the feature benefits which these new design innovations provide manufactures of automotive fastener systems.
