Mechanism of heterogeneous substrate stimulating growth for nickel-based single crystal superalloy

Minimizing the deviation of single-crystal (SX) primary orientation can significantly enhance the yield rate, service life, and performance of turbine blades or castings. Substrate stimulating method controls the deviation of <001> orientation within a narrower range by inducing nucleation of...

description Minimizing the deviation of single-crystal (SX) primary orientation can significantly enhance the yield rate, service life, and performance of turbine blades or castings. Substrate stimulating method controls the deviation of <001> orientation within a narrower range by inducing nucleation of specific crystalline planes. In this study, during heterogeneous substrate stimulating growth for DD5 superalloy, the mechanism by which lattice misfit influences the orientation of new crystals were systematically elucidated. The study variables include substrate materials ((001) SX DD5, polycrystal DD5, and polycrystal Cu), orientations ((001), (101), (111)), cooling rates, and temperature. The target oriented grains were increased when the lattice misfit between the substrates of varying materials or orientations and new crystal were minimized. The melt undercooling decreases as the substrate cooling rate decreases, which can only stimulate the nucleation of crystalline planes with lower energy barriers (characterized by minimal lattice misfit). The thermal gradient in the melt decreases and the lattice misfit simultaneously decreases as the substrate temperature increases, these two factors jointly contribute to stimulating grains with lower lattice misfit. The substrate temperature leads to more pronounced variation in the proportion of target grains, than does the substrate cooling rate.
