An Effective Strengthening Strategy of Nano Carbide Precipitation and Cellular Microstructure Refinement in a Superalloy Fabricated by Selective Laser Melting Process

An effective strategy to strengthen a superalloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) is proposed. The aim is to increase the yield strength of Inconel 718 fabricated by SLM to beyond 1400 MPa, which has never been achieved before. In this study, various NbC additions (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 5....
