S. Srinivas et al., STRESS RUPTURE PROPERTY MICROSTRUCTURE CORRELATION IN HOT-ROLLED SUPERALLOY-718, Materials characterization, 35(2), 1995, pp. 93-98
This investigation explored the factors responsible for the wide varia
tions in the notch-rupture properties of wrought superalloy 718. Micro
structural characterization of selected failed samples, using optical
and transmission electron microscopy, revealed that the considerable v
ariations occurred due to nonuniform distribution of the delta phase a
nd reduced size of the gamma '' strengthening phase.
