Abstract

Up to date, IN713C Nickel-based superalloy has been continued to be the best alloy candidate for turbocharger wheel applications due to its adequate fatigue property and resistance to degradation under harsh operating environments. Throughout this study, three different batches of as-cast IN713C nic...
