  • Publication number: 20220395897
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate-triggered single crystal superalloy directional solidification process, including: (1) preparing a single crystal substrate material having crystallographic characteristics that match crystallographic characteristics of the single crystal superalloy; (2) fabricating a single crystal substrate chilling plate using the obtained single crystal substrate material; and (3) applying the obtained single crystal substrate chilling plate in a directional solidification apparatus, and then preparing a single crystal alloy product by performing superalloy melting and directional solidification.

  • Publication number: 20220395896
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a directional solidification method for a superalloy single crystal blade based on solid-liquid interface steady control. The method establishes effective criteria for withdrawal speed adjustment, i.e. the related position between a macro solid-liquid interface and a thermal baffle, the range between the dendrite tips at the solid-liquid interface, and the difference between the advance speed of the macro solid-liquid interface and the withdrawal speed. With these criteria, the advance of the solid-liquid interface during directional solidification is simulated and a withdrawal speed curve v(t) for the solid-liquid interface steady advancement was obtained. And then, the single crystal blade was prepared.
