Improved plasticity of Inconel 718 superalloy fabricated by selective laser melting through a novel heat treatment process

When Inconel 718 alloy is fabricated by selective laser melting and treated by traditional homogenization plus double aging heat treatment (HA), its strength improves greatly, but ductility decreases. A novel heat treatment (NHT) including higher temperature homogenization at 1150 °C for 2 h and one...
