Abstract: Effects of solution treatment temperature on microstructure and properties of modified In617 alloy were studied by means of OM and SEM characterization, EDS analysis and mechanical properties test. The results show that the average grain size of the alloy increases from 18 μm to 183 μm after solution treatment at 950-1200 ℃ for 2.5 h. The kinetic model of grain growth of the alloy during solution treatment at 950-1200 ℃ is established. When the solution treatment temperature is 1000 ℃, the M23C6 carbide at grain boundary is re-dissolved. When the solution treatment temperature exceeds 1100 ℃, the dissolution of M6C carbides is basically completed, and only large-size MC carbides exist in the alloy. When the solid solution treatment temperature rises, the mixed grain phenomenon occurs, and the high temperature strength of the alloy gradually decreases, which is mainly due to the gradual redissolution of the carbides. When the solid solution treatment temperature is 1050 ℃, the strength of the alloy decreases a little due to insufficient dissolution of the carbides at grain boundary. When the solution treatment temperature increases to 1200 ℃, the strength of the alloy is greatly reduced due to that the carbides at grain boundary disappear and the grain growth.
