How is 3D Printing Inconel 625 produced?
The production and composition of the Inconel 625 depend on the specifications required for the material.
In order to improve the toughness of the material, heat treatment of the alloy is necessary.In the case of Inconel 625, the following treatments can be used:
High solution annealing: Soak at 1095-1205 ° C (up to 1 hour), then the lower temperature in ambient air or cooling medium. The result is an alloy with superior creep resistance.
Low solubility annealing: This is similar to high solubility annealing but at a lower temperature of 925-1040°C.The alloys produced have good tensile strength and ductility.
Stress relief: This process involves soaking at 900°C for up to 4 hours, followed by cooling in the surrounding air. The final product has excellent integrity in low-temperature environments, as well as optimal strength and stress resistance.
Forging Inconel 625 requires a furnace temperature between 1010 °C and 1150°C. Anything below this range may cause hardness and require reheating of the material.
