Interface Reaction between DD6 Single Crystal Superalloy and Ceramic Core

Abstract:

The interfacial reaction between alloys and ceramic materials is an important factor to influence the quality and service performance of the turbine blade. In this paper, three typical height sections of 120mm, 160mm and 210mm were selected, and the interface reactions between DD6 single crystal superalloy and silica based ceramic cores were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the infiltration degree of the melt alloy increases with the increase of reaction time. The thickness of the reaction layer could be over 0.3mm when the reaction time increased up to 70min. The main reasons of forming the infiltration layer were the infiltration of the Al element and the interfacial reaction between the Al element and the ceramic core. There formed an aluminum deficient layer on the metal surface because of the interface reaction between the alloy and the ceramic core. The dense layer formed by interfacial reaction on the surface of the core will cause some difficulties for core leaching.
