Evolution of Precipitates and Microhardness of L-PBF Inconel 625 Through Relevant Thermal Treatment by Tahmina Keya, Ralf D. Fischer, Mohanish Andurkar, Scott M. Thompson, Valentina O’Donnell, John Gahl, Barton C. Prorok

“…The alloy is prone to precipitation under elevated temperatures, which makes designing suitable heat treatment to tailor the desired microstructure and mechanical properties critical. Traditional heat treatment for wrought IN625 cannot be applied to L-PBF IN625; therefore, it is vital to understand the evolution of precipitates on the way to complete recrystallization. …”
