Abstract

A Re-containing single-crystal superalloy was processed with conventional radiation high rate solidification (HRS) and liquid-metal cooling (LMC) techniques, respectively. Compared with the HRS castings, LMC castings exhibited the greatly refined dendrite structures and lower segregation. At the withdrawal rate of 50 μm/s, the primary and secondary dendrite arm spacing of LMC casting was 103 and 19 μm, which were reduced by 60% and 53% compared to the counterpart of HRS castings. Moreover, higher withdrawal rates significantly shortened the characteristic diffusion distance and reduced the residual segregation of refractory elements after homogenization-solution treatments, which is beneficial for improving the local phase stability of Re-containing superalloys.
