In this work, we investigated the microstructure and tensile properties of Inconel 718 alloy processed by selective laser melting (SLM) and conventional casting technique using multiscale characterization methods. Results indicated that a columnar grain structure containing cellular structure units with submicron size was the major feature in the as-printed Inconel 718 alloy. At the cellular structure boundaries, the high-density dislocation tangles, segregation of Nb/Mo atoms and nano-sized Laves phases were found. Meanwhile, we also observed dislocation pile-ups and stacking faults in the interior of the cellular structure. In contrast, in the as-cast Inconel 718 alloy, both the grains and Laves phases were much coarser. Discrete dislocations, dislocation tangles and γ"precipitates were locally observed in the grains. Tensile results showed the as-printed Inconel 718 alloy had a higher strength and a lower elongation in comparison with those in the as-cast alloy. Based on the experimental results, the formation mechanism of the cellular structure was discussed.
