New Publication by NRT Trainee Preston Regg Angell

We are excited to share a new publication by NRT trainee Preston Regg Angell and Dr. Leila Ladani on Inconel 718 diffusion bonding, a study that evaluates the mechanical properties of diffusion-bonded nickel-based superalloys used in high-temperature applications.

“Evaluation of Solid-State Diffusion Bonded Inconel 718 Mechanical Properties.”

The manuscript explores the mechanical performance of solid-state diffusion-bonded nickel-based superalloys, specifically Inconel 718, a material widely used in high-temperature aerospace applications.

In this study, the research team experimentally investigated the possibility of achieving solid-state bonding of Inconel 718 without using an interlayer material, while maintaining the mechanical properties of the base alloy. Results showed that parameters such as bonding atmosphere, surface preparation, and thermal cycles play a critical role in maintaining tensile properties after bonding. The study provides valuable insights into how grain growth and thermal processes influence bonding performance, particularly in relation to the Hall–Petch strengthening mechanism.

This research contributes to the advancement of high-temperature material joining methods, with potential applications in aerospace manufacturing and advanced engineering systems.

We congratulate Preston and Dr. Ladani on this publication and look forward to seeing the continued impact of their work. 👏
