Fractal Nature of Advanced Ni-Based Superalloys Solidified on Board the International Space Station

Materials science is highly significant in space program investigation, energy production and others. Therefore, designing, improving predicting advanced material properties a crucial necessity. The high temperature creep corrosion resistance of Ni-based superalloys makes them important materials for turbine blades aircraft engines land-based power plants. investment casting process costly time consuming, which simulations These require fundamental models the microstructure formation. In this paper, we present analytical techniques describing microstructures obtained experimentally analyzed on different sample’s cross-sectional images. samples have been processed board International Space Station using MSL-EML device based electromagnetic levitation principles. We applied several aspects fractal analysis results regarding fractals Hausdorff dimensions related to surface structural characteristics CMSX-10 samples. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Zeiss LEO 1550, solidified successfully performed reconstruction morphology. extended microscopic images earth established new frontiers structures prediction.
