Hey guys, we have ordered some spring rings made out of Inconel 718. For some reason the company didn't finish the heat treat and the parts are just annealed, in the "dead-soft" condition.
I need to evaluate if these things are usable (they are actually supposed to be soft and were designed to be as soft as possible). Unfortunately I'm not a materials guy and cannot find any info on an "as-annealed" state of this stuff. Given a properly heat-treated piece, is there anything I can deduce about the elastic modulus from simply the hardess, or at least make a guess?
FYI, The spec calls for >36.0 HRC, and we have HRB 92, which ~14 HRC
Any help? Thanks,
