Title of Project Development of Super Alloy Parts in vacuum induction melting

Scope of Project Proof of concept for Inconel-718 part made through vacuum
process meeting all mechanical & metallurgical properties.
Sponsoring Agency if any NIL
Project Leader Mr. Alok Agarwal
Year in which started 2023
Duration in Months 2 years
Capital (Estimated in Lakhs) 100 Lakh
Recurring (Estimated in Lakhs) -
Total (Estimated in Lakhs) 100 Lakh
Foreign Exchange (in INR) -
Remarks/Brief write-up of the  Melting under oxygen-free atmosphere limits formation of non-
R&D Project metallic oxide inclusions and prevents oxidation of reactive
elements
 Achievement of very close compositional tolerances and gas
contents
 Removal of undesired trace elements with high vapor
pressures
 Removal of dissolved gases – oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen
 Adjustment of precise and homogeneous alloy composition
and melt temperature
 Melting in a vacuum eliminates the need for a protective slag
cover and decreases the potential of accidental slag
contamination or inclusions in the ingot.

Specified equipments to be Vacuum Induction Melting

Remarks/Brief write-up of the Super-alloys are used in the high temperature regions of the gas
R&D Project turbine, especially the turbine blades and turbine disk. The
development and processing of different alloys are required to
achieve this quality of super-alloys. The microstructure of nickel-
based Super alloy highly complex, with a large number of
dispersed intermetallics and other phases that modify alloy behavior
through their composition, morphology, and location. Microstructure
can be modified through different processing methods, mainly heat
treatments and directional solidification.

Duration in Months 24 months
Capital (Estimated in Lakhs) 500 Lakh
Recurring (Estimated in Lakhs) -
Total (Estimated in Lakhs) 500 Lakh
Foreign Exchange (in INR) -
Remarks/Brief write-up of the Single crystal turbine blades have the mechanical advantage of being
R&D Project able to operate at a much higher temperature than crystalline turbine
blades. Given the ability to increase turbine efficiency with higher
temperatures, the development of these blades is very beneficial. The
turbine blades are able to operate at these high temperatures due to
the single crystal structure and the composition of the nickel based
superalloy.
The single crystal structure has the ability to withstand creep at higher
temperatures than crystalline turbine blades due to the lack of grain
boundaries present. Grain boundaries are an area of the
microstructure where many defects and failure mechanisms start
which leads to creep occurring. The lack of these grain boundaries
inhibits creep from occurring in this way. Creep will still occur in single
crystal turbine blades but due to different mechanisms that occur at
higher temperatures. The single crystal turbine blade does not have
grain boundaries along directions of axial stress which crystalline
turbine blades do. This also works to increases the creep strength.
