Abstract
In this paper, microstructure and mechanical properties of 200 mm diameter Inconel 718 hemispherical domes processed at 1025 °C through closed die hammer forging have been investigated. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the forgings in radial and tangential directions were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, impact testing, and tensile testing. Grain size of the forgings at three different locations was fine with an average grain size of ASTM No. 8-9. The typical tensile properties of the forgings in solution-treated and aged condition were ultimate tensile strength-1450 MPa, yield strength-1240 MPa, and ductility-25%. The fine grain size achieved in forgings has been attributed to delta phase present at grain boundaries which pinned the grains during forging and prevented grain coarsening.
