Abstract
Inconel 718 alloy which was prepared using selective laser melting (SLM) forming technology underwent various annealing treatments. Optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, electron backscattered diffraction and MTS testing machine were used to study the microstructure, mechanical and fatigue properties of Inconel 718 alloy melted by selective laser melting under different annealing treatments. The results show that the microstructure of Inconel 718 alloy after homogenization and doubleaging annealing is the most obvious, and the microstructure of the alloy is mainly recrystallized. The microstructure contains a large number of annealing twins and the grain boundaries are flat. The yield strength, tensile strength and microhardness of Inconel 718 alloy formed by selective laser melting after different annealing treatments are greatly increased, while the elongation after fracture is significantly decreased. The fatigue properties of Inconel 718 alloy after double aging annealing and solution dual aging annealing are improved slightly, while the fatigue properties after uniform double aging annealing are decreased slightly.
