The investigation was conducted into the effects of different shell preheating temperatures (1100 °C, 1150 °C, and 1180 °C) on the organization of solidification of isometric crystalline blades made for an aero-engine. The experimental results show that with the increase of shell temperature, the dendrite spacing and dendrite robustness gradually increase, while the area between dendrites gradually increases. The size of the eutectic gradually increases as the shell temperature rises, and there is no obvious regularity in the eutectic content. The size and content of carbide show a trend of decreasing first and then becoming larger, and the size relationship was 1180 °C > 1110 °C > 1150 °C. There is no obvious difference in the composition of carbides at different shell temperatures, all of them are MC-type carbides, and none of them decompose. At 1150 °C, γ΄ phase has a smaller size, the best cubical and most regular arrangement, while the largest size, worst cubicization and most irregular phase at 1180 °C.
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.
