Abstract:
Inconel 738LC (IN738LC) is a nickel-based superalloy specially used in the hot section components of turbine engines due to its outstanding hot corrosion resistance and mechanical properties under high temperatures. However, one of the main drawbacks of this superalloy is its susceptibility to cracking when it is manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). This paper describes the effect of 400 W laser power and 90° rotation strategy on the formation of cracks and the capability of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) post-treatment to substantially reduce them in the LPBF manufactured IN738LC samples.
