A study of solidification structure evolution during investment casting of Ni-based superalloy for aero-engine turbine blades

The need to achieve increased efficiency and performance in aerospace gas turbines requires advanced single crystal Ni-based superalloys to exhibit increased temperature capabilities. High temperature creep resistance of the turbine blades is one of the major limitations to meet increased performanc...
