Microstructural heterogenity was examined in the as-cast microstructure of directionally solidified ZS 26 nickel based superalloy. The distribution of elements in primary and secondary dendrite growth direction was determined by quantitative EDX analysis. Measurements of elemental partitioning show apparent segregation behaviour of Al, Ti, W, and Ni during solidification. The series of one stage solution were used to homogenize samples microstructure of samples and simultaneously to study the solutes redistribution
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
