Effect of Parameters of HRS Process on Microstructure of DZ466 Ni-based Superalloy

Abstract

The influences of withdrawal rate and mold heater zone temperature during high rate solidification (HRS) on the microstructures were investigated. As the results, the primary dendritic spacing, the size of γ′ phase particles and carbides are decreased with the increase of the withdrawal rate or mold heater zone temperature. As the withdrawing goes on, the primary dendritic spacing and the size of γ′ phase particles are increased, and the heat emission efficiency of HRS process is decreased. The results show that fine dendrite and γ′ phase can be achieved with the withdrawal of 8 mm/min and mold heater zone temperature of 1520 ℃/1530 ℃, which is benefit to improve the properties of DZ466 alloy.
