Abstract
The main strengthening mechanism for Inconel 718 (IN718), a Ni-based superalloy, is precipitation hardening by γ′ and γ″ particles. It is thus essential, for good alloy performance, that precipitates with the desired chemical composition have adequate size and dispersion. The distribution of the γ′ and γ″ phases and their chemical composition were investigated in the nickel-based Inconel 718 superalloy by taking advantage of the new capabilities of scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry using a windowless multiple detector, a high-brightness Schottky electron gun, and a spherical aberration corrector in the illumination probe optics. A small routine was developed to deconvolute the respective compositions of γ′ and γ″ nanoprecipitates embedded in the γ matrix. Keeping the electron probe current low enough—a few hundred pA—prevented excessive irradiation damage during the acquisition of element maps and brought their spatial resolution down to the atomic column level to track their element compositions. The present results agree with and complement atomic probe tomography observations and Thermo-Calc predictions from the literature. The presence of an Al enrichment at the γ′/γ″ interface—which may control the γ″ phase coarsening—is observed in the last row of Al-Nb-Ti columns along this interface. In addition, a few columns with similar composition changes are found randomly distributed in the γ′ phase.
