Structural Perfection of a Single Crystal Nickel-Based CMSX-4 Superalloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aircraft engines turbine blades are manufactured from nickel-base superalloys and they are often in a single crystal form. This ensures the best high-temperature creep resistance as compared with blades of equiaxial grains microstructure and of columnar grains microstructure. Turbine blades were manufactured in an ALD Vacuum Technologies furnace. The study has examined structural perfection of single crystal blades obtained by Bridgeman method from CMSX-4 nickel superalloy at various withdrawal rates: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5mm/min.
