Abstract |
The γ/γ´ two-phase growth commonly observed at γ interdendritic regions in Ni-base superalloys is known to be the eutectic microstructure. However, it is still unclear whether this is due to a eutectic or peritectic reaction. Directional solidification experiments of the Ni-base superalloy CMSX-10 were performed at low solidification rates in order to induce the coupled growth of γ/γ´ phases and to investigate their growth behavior. The γ and γ´ phases were found to grow simultaneously, maintaining an isothermal interface. Directional solidification experiments in a thin tube (0.8 mm ID) suggest that convection enhances the formation of two phase peritectic growth with a planar interface and the γ/γ´ might be the couped peritectic. |
