Intergranular oxidation of Ni-base alloy 718 with a focus on additive manufacturing
Résumé
The intergranular oxidation in air at 850 °C of alloy 718 produced by laser beam melting and electron beam melting was compared to that of the wrought alloy. Quantitative analyses revealed that the amount of grain boundary oxidation was similar for these alloys. However, the additively manufactured ones presented deeper and thicker oxides at grain boundaries, due to grain size heterogeneity and to a smaller number of special boundaries. Results show that intergranular oxidation kinetics follows Wagner’s theory on internal oxidation considering not only O diffusion at the intergranular oxide/metal interfaces but also Al and Ti diffusion in the bulk.
