CM247LC alloy was manufactured by using selective laser melting (SLM) process, one of the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) methods. The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process was additionally conducted on the SLM-built CM247LC to control its microstructures and defects. The high temperature oxidation property was investigated, and it was compared with conventional DS247LC sample (reference) prepared via the directional solidification process. The L-PBF HIP sample showed blocky-type MC carbides generated along the grain boundary with average size of about 200 nm. A semi-spherical primary γ' phase of size 0.4-1.0 μm was also observed inside the grains. Moreover, the DS247LC sample displayed a coarse eutectic γ' phase and many script-type MC carbides. Furthermore, cuboidal-type γ' with an average size of about 0.5 μm was detected. High-temperature oxidation tests were conducted at 1000°C and 1100°C for 24 hours. The results at 1100°C oxidation temperature showed that the measured oxidation weight gains for HIP and DS247LC were 1.96 mg/cm2 and 2.26 mg/cm2, respectively, indicating the superior high-temperature oxidation resistance of the L-PBF HIP sample. Based on the above results, a high-temperature oxidation mechanism of the CM247LC alloys manufactured by the SLM process and the directional solidification process has been proposed.

One of the most important factors directly affecting microstructure and mechanical properties in directional solidification process is secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS). It is very important to measure the SDAS and examine the factors that may affect them. To investigate the effect of growth rate on the SDAS, the alloy specimens were directional solidified upward with different growth rates (V = 8.3-83.0 μm/s) at a constant temperature gradient (G = 4 K/mm) in a Bridgman-type growth apparatus. After the specimens are directionally solidified, they were exposed to metallographic processes in order to observe the dendritic solidification structure on the longitudinal section of the specimens. Coarsen secondary dendrite arm spacings (λ2C) were measured excluding the first arms near the tip of the dendrite. Local solidification times ( tf) were calculated by ratio of spacings to growth rates. It was determined that the tf values decreased with increasing V values. The relationships between tf and λ2C were defined by means of the binary regression analysis. Exponent values of tf were obtained as 0.37, 0.43, 0.46 and 0.47 according to increasing V values, respectively. These exponent values are close to the exponent value (0.33) predicted by the Rappaz-Boettinger theoretical model and good agreement with the exponent values (0.33-0.50) obtained by other experimental studies.

The current work is dedicated to the mathematical description of a protrusion of the leading phase (cementite) over the wetting phase (austenite) observed during the author’s experiments in previous articles. A cementite protrusion is confirmed in the directionally solidified Fe-4.25% C eutectic alloy. The protrusion is defined due to the mass balance fulfilment. A coordinate system is attached to the solid/liquid interface, which is moving with the constant growth rate v.

In order to determine the leading phase of the Fe - 4.25% C eutectic alloy, the method of directional crystallization, which allows to study the character of the solid / liquid growth front, was used. Examined eutectic was directionally solidified with a constant temperature gradient of G = 33,5 K/mm and growth rate of v = 125 μm/s (450 mm/h). The Bridgman technique was used for the solidification process. The sample was grown by pulling it downwards up to 30 mm in length. The alloy quenched by rapid pulling down into the Ga-In-Sn liquid metal. The sample was examined on the longitudinal section using a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. The shape of the solid/liquid interface and particularly the leading phase protrusion were revealed. The formation of the concave – convex interface has been identified in the quasi-regular eutectic growth arrested by quenching. The cementite phase was determined to be a leading phase. The total protrusion d is marked in the adequate figure.

Twinned dendrites in Al-Zn alloy with high Zn content (40% wt.%) were successfully prepared by directional solidification. At different directional solidification rates (1000 and 1500 μm/s), microstructures and growth orientation variations of Al twinned dendrite and non-twinned dendrite were characterized. By using the inverted trapezoidal graphite sleeve at 1000 μm/s, Al twinned dendrite were formed to developed feather crystal structures in longitudinal section. Its primary and secondary twinned dendrite were grew along [110] direction. Moreover the deviation angle between [110] direction of Al twinned dendrite and the heat flow direction was about 27.15°. While not using the inverted trapezoidal graphite sleeve at 1000 and 1500 μm/s, Al dendrite was the non-twinned dendrite and the twinned dendrite was not appeared. The experimental results showed that the higher temperature gradient, a certain pulling rate and convection environment were the formation conditions of twinned dendrites.

Fe - 4,25% C alloy was directionally solidified with a constant temperature gradient of G = 33,5 K/mm and growth rate of v = 83,3 μm/s (300 mm/h) using a vacuum Bridgman-type crystal growing facility with liquid metal cooling technique. To reveal more detailed microstructure, the deep etching was made. This was obtained in the process of electrolytic dissolution. The microstructure of the sample was examined on the longitudinal and transverse sections using an Optical Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope. Using the Electron Backscattered Diffraction technique, phase map and analysis of phase were made. In this paper the analysis of Fe-C alloy eutectic microstructure is presented. Regular eutectic structure was obtained. The fracture surfaces show lamellar structure. Microscopic observation after electrolytic extraction indicates that the grains of longitudinal shape of eutectic cementite have been obtained. These grains are characterized by layered construction with many rounded discontinuities.

It is well-known that the better the control of the liquid aluminium allows obtaining of better properties. One of the most important defects that is held responsible for lower properties has been the presence of porosity. Porosity has always been associated with the amount of dissolved hydrogen in the liquid. However, it was shown that hydrogen was not the major source but only a contributor the porosity. The most important defect that causes porosity is the presence of bifilms. These defects are surface entrained mainly due to turbulence and uncontrolled melt transfer. In this work, a cylindrical mould was designed (Ø30 x 300 mm) both from sand and die. Moulds were produced both from sand and die. Water cooled copper chill was placed at the bottom of the mould in order to generate a directional solidification. After the melt was prepared, prior to casting of the DC cast samples, reduced pressure test sample was taken to measure the melt quality (i.e. bifilm index). The cast parts were then sectioned into regions and longitudinal and transverse areas were investigated metallographically. Pore size, shape and distribution was measured by image analysis. The formation of porosity was evaluated by means of bifilm content, size and distribution in A356 alloy.

In a vacuum Bridgman-type furnace, under an argon atmosphere, directionally solidified sample of Fe-C alloy was produced. The pulling rate was v = 83 μm/s (300 mm/h) and constant temperature gradient G = 33,5 K/mm. The microstructure of the sample was examined on the longitudinal section using an Optical Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope. The X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction technique (EBSD) have been used for the crystallographic analysis of carbide particles in carbide eutectic. The X-ray diffraction was made parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the goniometer. The EBSD shows the existence of iron carbide Fe3C with orthorhombic and hexagonal structure. Rapid solidification may cause a deformation of the lattice plane which is indicated by different values of the lattice parameters. Such deformation could also be the result of directional solidification. Not all of the peaks in X–ray diffractograms were identified. They may come from other iron carbides. These unrecognized peaks may also be a result of the residual impurity of alloy.

Directionally solidified sample of Fe-Fe3C eutectic alloy were produced under an argon atmosphere in a vacuum Bridgman-type furnace to study the eutectic growth with v = 167 μm/s pulling rate and constant temperature gradient G = 33.5 K/mm. Since how the growth texture of eutectic cementite is related to its growth morphology remains unclear, the current study aims to examine this relationship. The technique such as X-ray diffraction, have been used for the crystallographic analysis of carbide particles in white cast irons.

Solidification of AlSiFe alloys was studied using a directional solidification facility and the CALPHAD technique was applied to calculate phase diagrams and to predict occurring phases. The specimens solidified by electromagnetic stirring showed segregation across, and the measured chemical compositions were transferred into phase diagrams. The ternary phase diagrams presented different solidification paths caused by segregation in each selected specimen. The property diagrams showed modification in the sequence and precipitation temperature of the phases. It is proposed in the study to use thermodynamic calculations with Thermo-Calc which enables us to visualize the mushy zone in directional solidification. 2D maps based on property diagrams show a mushy zone with a liquid channel in the AlSi7Fe1.0 specimen center, where significant mass fraction (33%) of β-Al5FeSi phases may precipitate before α-Al dendrites form. Otherwise liquid channel occurred almost empty of β in AlSi7Fe0.5 specimen and completely without β in AlSi9Fe0.2. The property diagrams revealed also possible formation of α–Al8Fe2Si phases.

A eutectic reaction is a basic liquid-solid transformation, which can be used in the fabrication of high-strength in situ composites. In this study an attempt was made to ensure directional solidification of Fe-C-V alloy with hypereutectic microstructure. In this alloy, the crystallisation of regular fibrous eutectic and primary carbides with the shape of non-faceted dendrites takes place. According to the data given in technical literature, this type of eutectic is suitable for the fabrication of in-situ composites, owing to the fact that a flat solidification front is formed accompanied by the presence of two phases, where one of the phases can crystallise in the form of elongated fibres. In the present study an attempt was also made to produce directionally solidifying vanadium eutectic using an apparatus with a very high temperature gradient amounting to 380 W/cm at a rate of 3 mm/h. Alloy microstructure was examined in both the initial state and after directional solidification. It was demonstrated that the resulting microstructure is of a non-homogeneous character, and the process of directional solidification leads to an oriented arrangement of both the eutectic fibres and primary carbides.

One of the methods to study solidification of alloys and metals is directional solidification. In the paper the effect of the contact gap between the analyzed specimen and the bottom heater was analysed. The occurring contact gap caused the increase in planned solidification velocity. For the facility calibration the methodology with M coefficient was applied. The experiments revealed efficient values of M and allowed to conduct efficiently the directional solidification of AlSiFe alloys in wide range of growth rates. The effect of the contact gap seems to be random phenomena and most difficult factor influencing precisely planned directional solidification.

Aero engine turbine blades are fiight safety critical components and are first and foremost characterized by superior mechanical properties. The mechanical properties can be improved by replacing equiaxed (EQ) polycrystalline blades by directionalÍy solidified (DS) and single crystal blades (SX). During directional solidification, many defects may form, e.g. freckles and stray grains. By comoining the techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDS), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), these defects can be comprehensively evaluated. Freckles are casting defects appearing on the surface of DS and SX castings and take the form of long chains of equiaxed grains aligned parallel to gravity. Freckles form mainly because of thermosolutal convection and buoyancy forces in the mushy zone, which in turn are caused by density inversion in the interdendritic liquid. Other casting defects are stray grains as a result of poor efficiency of the helical grain selector. Obtained results reveal some new details about freckle formation and stray grains formation mechanisms.

Łopatki turbin silników lotniczych są elementami krytycznymi o bezpośrednim wpływie na bezpieczeństwo lotu, dlatego muszą charakteryzować się bardzo dobrymi właściwościami mechanicznymi. Właściwości mechaniczne mogą zostać ulepszone dzięki zastępowaniu łopatek polikrystalicznych o ziarnach równoosiowych (EQ) łopatkami kierunkowo krystalizowanymi (DS) i monokrystalicznymi (SX). Podczas kierunkowej krystalizacji mogą pojawić się wady odlewów, takie jak frekle (freckles) czy obce ziarna (stray grains). Połączenie technik elektronowej mikroskopii skaningowej (SEM), mikroanalizy rentgenowskiej z dyspersją energii (EDS) oraz dyfrakcji elektronów wstecznie rozproszonych (EBSD) umożliwia kompleksowy opis tych wad. Frekle to powierzchniowe wady odlewów DS i SX mające postać łańcuchów równoosiowych ziaren ułożonych równolegle do kierunku działania grawitacji. Frekle są skutkiem działania sił wyporu hydrostatycznego i konwekcji w strefie ciekło-stałej, które wynikają z inwersji gęstości ciekłego stopu w obszarach międzydendrytycznych. Innym przykładem wad są obce ziarna, będące skutkiem małej sprawności śrubowego selektora ziarna. Otrzymane wyniki ujawniają pewne nowe szczegóły dotyczące powstawania frekli i obcych ziaren.

Manufacturing of modern aero engine turbine blades made of nickel-based superalloys is very complex and expensive. The thrust and performance of new engines must address constantly more demanding requirements. Therefore, turbine blades must be characterised by very good mechanical properties, which is possible only if the blades are free of casting defects. An important innovation has been the launching of directionally solidified (DS) and single crystal (SX) turbine blades. But, manufacturing procedures and the chemical composition of many superalloys promote the formation of casting defects that are characteristic only for directional solidification. One of these defects is freckles. Freckles are small equiaxed grains in the form of long chains parallel to the solidification direction and are located on the surface of the casting. Freckles decrease the mechanical properties of DS and SX blades; therefore, they should be always unambiguously identified to improve the manufacturing process. This work presents the possibilities of identifying and evaluating freckles in DS casting made of PWA 1426 superalloy by combining the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques.

Wytwarzanie łopatek turbin nowoczesnych silników lotniczych jest bardzo złożone i kosztowne. Stale rosną też wymagania dotyczące ciągu i sprawności nowych silników. Dlatego łopatki turbin musza charakteryzować się bardzo dobrymi właściwościami mechanicznymi. Jest to możliwe tylko wtedy, gdy łopatki nie wykazują wad odlewniczych. Ważną innowacją w wytwarzaniu łopatek było wprowadzenie łopatek kierunkowo krystalizowanych (DS) i monokrystalicznych (SX). Skład chemiczny wielu nadstopów i proces wytwarzania łopatek stanowią czasem czynniki sprzyjające powstawaniu wad odlewniczych, charakterystycznych tylko dla procesu kierunkowej krystalizacji. Przykładem takiej wady są frekle. Wada ta ma postać małych, równoosiowych ziaren tworzących łańcuchy, przeważnie równoległe do kierunku krystalizacji. Wada ta znacznie obniża właściwości mechaniczne łopatek DS i SX, dlatego powinna być zawsze jednoznacznie identyfikowana w celu usprawnienia procesu ich wytwarzania. W pracy przedstawiono możliwości identyfikacji i oceny wady frekle w kierunkowo krystalizowanym odlewie z nadstopu niklu PWA 1426 przy użyciu elektronowej mikroskopii skaningowej (SEM), mikroanalizy rentgenowskiej (EPMA) i dyfrakcji elektronów wstecznie rozproszonych (EBSD).
