Directional solidification of single crystal blades under industrial conditions using the developed air-cooled casting method (1)

In this paper, the effect of gas cooling on microstructure refinement of single crystal blades produced by DGCC gas cooling casting process was studied. The primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) reaches the highest value on the airfoil and the lowest value on the blade platform. However, when Bridgman’s method is used, the PDAS value changes along the blade in the opposite direction. The DGCC gas cooling casting method results in a reduction of about 100 μm in the PDAS value in the blade platform compared to conventional radiant cooling. In the process of directional solidification of nickel-based superalloy, the dendrite structure is refined by decreasing the primary dendrite arm spacing […]
