N2 - Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used to join plates of Inconel 718. The mechanical properties were determined by tensile, microhardness, and instrumented Charpy impact tests. An ERNiFeCr-2 filler metal fed by a semi-automatic mechanism was used. Partial dissolution of the strengthening phases, γ′ and γ″, induced a soft region (~ 225 HV1.0) in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) during welding. The yield strength (371.3 MPa) of the as-welded joint is approximately 45% of the base material in aged condition (822.7 MPa). The welds were subjected to a hardening recovery post weld heat treatment (HRPWHT). Impact testing of the hardened welds revealed a reduction of 17% in energy absorbed with respect the aged base material. Hardness measurements showed an increase to ~ 410 HV0.1 in the fusion zone; however, due to segregation of Nb and formation of carbides, the precipitation of γ″ is not fully completed, and the yield strength (719 MPa) of the heat-treated welded joint is lower than the base material in aged condition.
