Abstract

In this study, the effect of Nb content and aging temperature on the weld of Inconel 690 was investigated by the behavior of \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\). After changing the Nb content of FM-52 to 0.65 wt%, 1.48 wt%, 2.45 wt%, and 3.46 wt%, shielded metal arc welding was conducted under constrained conditions to reduce the thermal deformation. As a result of measuring the hardness after aging treatment, the hardness increased with the Nb content, and it was determined that the transgranular and intergranular precipitation effect of MC on the increase in hardness was greater than that of \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\), which mainly precipitated at the migrated grain boundary (MGB) compared to MC. Optical Microscope analysis showed that the MGB changed from a straight type to a vermicular type as the Nb content increased. As a result of SEM/EDS and EBSD analysis, most of the carbide (\({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\)) was observed in specimen A with a low Nb content and decreased with an increase in the aging temperature, and the fraction of \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\) decreased with an increase in the Nb content. Micro-voids were generated by a large amount of \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\) at an aging temperature of 600–800 °C in the A and B specimens with a relatively low Nb content. The pitting resistance was improved due to the amount of Cr-rich \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\) decreased as the Nb content increased. However, no decrease in corrosion resistance was observed owing to the micro-voids produced near Cr-rich \({\text{M}}_{23} {\text{C}}_{6}\).
