New insights into the kinetics of dynamic and post-dynamic softening in Alloy 718 engine disks by E. Farabi, V.V. Rielli, F. Godor, C. Gruber, A. Stanojevic, B. Oberwinkler, S. Primig

“…The dynamic and post-dynamic recrystallisation (DRX and PDRX) kinetics of Alloy 718 are known to be dependent on the strain rate, deformation temperature, and the fraction of the δ-phase in the heterogeneous starting materials. Better control of these regimes is required for direct ageing (DA), to unlock superior high-temperature strength in next-generation aeroengine disks. …”
