Abstract Over the last decades, alloy 718 usage has expanded and requirements imposed by its industrial applications became more critical. The knowledge about grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) in alloy 718 and its effect on properties improvement is mostly built based on iterative processing through cold rolling steps interspersed with solution annealing. Alloy 718 is found in the industry in many different forms and geometries, and fabricated by multiple thermomechanical processes such as wire drawing, rolling, forging or extrusion. The present study focused on understanding how wires respond to deformation mode related to drawing in regard to GBCD evolution, crystallographic orientation, precipitation of δ-phase and grain size. Lastly, assessing the resulting mechanical properties. The findings show that microstructural evolution is a consequence of competing mechanisms such as strain induced boundary migration, recrystallization, grain growth and phase precipitation. The deformation gradient along wire cross section plays an important role in affecting microstructural features, such as δ precipitation, GBCD and microtexture.
