TL;DR
This study investigates eutectic inhomogeneity in a new nickel-based superalloy used for aero-engine blades, combining experiments and modeling to understand how microstructure varies during casting.
Contribution
The paper introduces a novel 3rd generation nickel-based single-crystal superalloy and combines experimental and computational methods to analyze γ/γ’ eutectic distribution during solidification.
Findings
Eutectic aggregation is pronounced on the upper surface of blade-like castings.
Mid-sections show relatively uniform γ/γ’ eutectic distribution.
A multiphase solidification model successfully simulated eutectic evolution and spatial variations.
Abstract
In the manufacture of single-crystal blades for aero-engines, the problem of eutectic aggregation on the upper surface of the blades has long been restricting the casting performance improvement. To investigate this phenomenon, this paper employs a simplified blade-like shape casting and focuses a 3rd generation nickel-based single-crystal superalloy as the research material. A systematic analysis is conducted to elucidate the distribution of γ/γ’ eutectic during solidification. Experimental results show distinct spatial variations in γ/γ’ eutectic distribution. Pronounced eutectic aggregation is observed on the upper surface of the blade but with sparse eutectic dispersion on the lower regions of the casting. Relatively uniform eutectic distribution dominates the mid-section of the specimen. To unravel the underlying mechanisms, this paper utilized a multiphase volume-averaged…
