    Role of δ-phase on recrystallisation behaviour of Inconel 718
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2024) Padasale, B.; Potphode, L.; Dsilva, P.C.; Hegde, S.R.
    The present work investigates the annealing behaviour of prior-coldworked Inconel 718 (IN718) sheets over wide reduction and temperature ranges by performing cold-rolling and isothermal annealing, followed by mechanical testing and structural characterisation. The study reveals that, with increasing annealing temperature, the prior-coldworked alloy shows non-monotonic M-Type variation with double peak-hardening at 0.3Tm and 0.6Tm. The study discovers that the first peak is due to the ‘static–strain–aging phenomenon’ that precedes recovery-softening. The second peak-hardening is due to precipitation-hardening, following which, the alloy softens due to recrystallisation. Supported by SEM, electron back-scattered diffraction and X-Ray diffraction results, the investigation suggests that the precipitation of fine rod-shaped δ-phase creates numerous nucleation sites at the shear bands that cause recrystallisation-burst at 0.75Tm. However, above 0.75Tm absence of the δ-phase activates grain-boundary migration resulting in rapid grain-coarsening. © The Author(s) 2024.
