Abstract
This paper investigated the yield strength anomaly (YSA) in Inconel 718 superalloy through tensile and microstructure experiments. The study analyzed the flow behavior, examined fracture morphology, discussed dislocation distribution, and developed an adaptive constitutive model. Results show that both intermediate temperature brittleness and YSA occur at 700-800℃ and strain rates of 0.01-1 s–1. This phenomenon is attributed to the influence of the intensity and content of the γ' phase on dislocation slip, reflecting the Kear-Wilsdorf locking mechanism. In addition, the fracture characteristics and dislocation distribution vary with temperature and strain rate. The modified Johnson-Cook model effectively predicts yield strength and plastic deformation, with advantages in wide temperature applicability (25-1000°C) and explicit YSA incorporation.
