linear indication
We rough machined the Incoloy 909 in the solution condition. Then perform aging heat treatment, final machining and FPI. However many linear indication found and those indication is about 0.010 inch to 0.020 inch. We had machined this material for many years and never encounter this problem. We do not know how this occurred.

Are those linear indications caused by machining, heat treatment process, forging process or material problems?
Has anyone suggest us a right way to solve this trouble?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Simon

Assuming FPI stands for fluorescent penetrant inspection. Considering the size of the these artefacts I would imagine it would initially appear by eye more like porosity than cracks using FPI. Have you tried polishing these out, one to get a better view and two to get a sense of their depth. Have you examined the material at stages before machining/heat treatment etc., to determine when the problem is first occurring.
