Abstract

In this study, Inconel 718 coatings were deposited by the high-pressure cold spray technique, and post-process solution and double aging treatments were conducted. The microstructures of the as-deposited and heat-treated IN718 were analyzed, and their mechanical properties were tested. It was found that the micro-dendritic structures in the original powder were severely elongated in the as-deposited IN718 coating due to plastic deformation during the cold spray process. After solution heat treatment, Nb, Mo, and Ti-rich segregations could be dissolved, transforming to MC carbide and a needle-like δ phase. It was found that the needle-like δ phase at the grain boundary had a pinning effect to slow down the grain growth. In addition, strengthening phases could be formed by aging treatments. The mechanical properties of the cold sprayed Inconel 718 could be improved by proper solution and aging heat treatments.
