ABSTRACT:
A method of increasing intergranular stress corrosion cracking resistance of Alloy 718 in water reactor environments is described where the alloy is heat treated at a high solution annealing temperature to dissolve grain boundary precipitates formed during thermomechanical processing. A water quenching step is advantageously employed following the high solution annealing. The alloy is then aged at two separate temperatures and finally air cooled to room temperature.
