The Effect of Second Hot Rolling on the Hot Ductility Behavior of IMI834 Alloy

The hot ductility of IMI834 alloy in two conditions of first hot rolling and second hot rolling has been studied by conducting tensile tests with a strain rate of 0.1 s−1 and temperature range of 800–1000 °C. In first hot rolling condition, IMI834 alloy showed little hot ductility in the temperature range 800–900 °C and ductility loss occurred at 850 °C. In second hot rolling condition, hot ductility increased at all temperatures and ductility loss is not occurred. Especially at 900 °C, hot ductility increased from 31% in first hot rolling to 95% in second hot rolling.
