Abstract The effect of heat input on microstructure and mechanical property of pulsed plasma arc additive manufactured Inconel 718 superalloy samples were investigated. Five different heat inputs ranging from 1.08×106 J/m to 1.76×106 J/m were adop-ted by changing power and welding speed. The microstructure morphology, dendritic spacing, elemental segregation and interdendritic Laves phase were also studied by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that as the heat inputs increase, the microstructure morphology is changed from columnar dendrites to cellular dendrites, and dendritic spacing also increases from 6.34 μm to 9.09 μm. Consequently, elemental segregation of Nb and Mo are promoted so that the morphology of interdendritic Laves phase is changed from particles to chains, which leads to the decrease of microhardness.
