Abstract

The effect of melt undercooling on the γ precipitation is investigated in nickel-based superalloy by employing the method of molten salt denucleating combined with thermal cycles. The application of SEM and TEM technique allows to further confirm and interpret γ formation mechanism here. In connection with the classical nucleation theory, it is found that not only the size of precipitated γ but its distribution in the as-solidified structure is also drastically influenced by the melt undercooling.
