| Abstract: | CM247LC Ni-based components have been widely used in developing hot ends in aero-engines and gas industrial turbines, and these have exhibited promising directional solidification (DS) results. However, the superalloy CM247LC shows defects after adding carbon (C) and hafnium (Hf). In this study, the effects of adding C and Hf on grain selection have been explored to enhance the 2D grain selector’s performance and reduce casting costs. The experimental results reveal that the final region of carbide formation is where the dendrite is pushed into the paste region and finally solidifies. The performance requirements of carbide on the alloy can be controlled by changing the paste region and solidification sequence. |
