INCONEL allay 718 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES HEAT TREATMENTS For most applications, INCONEL alloy 718 re- ceives one of two heat treatments: ‘Anneal at 1700°—1850°F plus aging at 1325°F /8 hr, F.C. to 1150°F, hold at 1150°F for total aging time of 18 hr, A.C. Anneal at 1900°—1950°F plus aging at 1400° F/10 br, FC. to 1200°F, hold at 1200°F for total aging time of 20 hr, A.C. ‘These treatments are based on metal tempera- tures and have been derived from batch rather than continuous furnace operations. The annealing tem- peratures outlined above therefore may not be applicable to continuous operations, since continuous annealing is normally eccomplished by short ex- posure in the hot zone of a furnace set at higher temperatures. Continuous annealing has been re- cognized as a valuable production tool, and society specifications allow flexibility of annealing pro- cedures so that either continuous or batch operations may be used. Specifications referred to in this bulletin are sub- ject to revision. The user should consult the Division “offices listed on the back cover. 1700°—1850°F Anneal and Age ‘The 1700°—1850°F anneal with its corresponding, ‘aging treatment as shown above is the optimum heat treatment for alloy 718 where a combination of rupture life, notch rupture life and rupture ductility is of greatest concern. The highest room-temperature tensile and yield strengths are also associated with this treatment. In addition, because of the fine graist developed, it produces the highest fatigue strength. “Material in this condition will meet the following minimum requirements: ws 55968 ‘Sheet, Srp, & Plate Rom Property Temperature 120% Tene Stent pst 180,00 10,000 145,000 Yl Strength (02% Ose, pt 150,000| 15,600 0,00" Songaton a 20, @ 5 arene wei - or equivalent Sess Rpture ‘Shes, = 5,000" 7 to0,c00 Lite = 2 ongton, = 4 AMS. 56528 and 56538, Bars, Forgings, & Rings oor Property ‘Temperature 0% Tonsla Strength, po 185, 000- 145,00 1900008 10,0008 129,000+ 140,000" od Strength (2% OF, sh 150,00 125,00, Beagaton in 2 In % 1 ra 10 10 6 & Rodin f Ara, %e 5 7 ne me io a Hardness ar BH = or equivalent Stress Ruptre| Sess ps 10,000 Ue, he a Elongation, % = « ws 5509 ‘Seamless Tubing Room Property Temperature 00°F Tons Sonat, ps 185,00 = Yel Strength (0.2% Offs pi 150,000 = Elongation ia 218, 2 Faroese Re = or equivalent ‘Stress Rupture al - 72.500 a ongtion, % = 5 pte atetin, cine cs "Ron wih amo oes, cee «pets ty 0. 03 nd ve wh wa Hae 015 41900°—1950°F Anneal and Age ‘The 1900°—1950°F anneal with its corresponding aging treatment as shown above isthe treatment pre- ferred in tensile limited applications because it pro- duces the best transverse ductility in heavy sections, impact strength, and low-temperature notch tensile strength.
