Orientation Selection and Microstructural Evolution in Directionally Solidified Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.95

Precipitation in a Ni - Al - Mo Directionally Solidified Eutectic Composite

The most recently developed high temperature materials are known as in-situ composites or directionally solidified eutectics. Since the composites are formed during solidification, they have excellent morphological stabilities up to near their melting temperatures. The Ni-Al-Mo system has received the greatest attention for recent several years(1)~(3) since the alloy is expected to form a struc...

Thermomechanical Fatigue Behavior of a Directionally Solidified Ni-Base Superalloy

A continuum crystal plasticity model is used to simulate the material behavior of a directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy, DS GTD-111, in the longitudinal and transverse orientations. Isothermal uniaxial fatigue tests with hold times and creep tests are conducted at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 1038°C to characterize the deformation response. The constitutive model i...

Magnetomechanical performance of directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys

Iron-gallium alloys can produce magnetostrictions of 400 ppm and might serve as mechanically robust actuator/sensing materials. However, for polycrystalline Fe–Ga alloys, the magnetostrictive performance decreases with the increasing deviations from the ideal 100 texture. In this paper, three directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys with gallium contents of 17, 18.4, and 19.5 at. % were characteri...

Corrosion Resistance of Directionally Solidified Casting Zinc-Aluminum Matrix

ON THE FORMATION OF STRAY GRAINS IN DIRECTIONALLY-SOLIDIFIED NI-BASED SUPERALLOYS WITH VARYING CROSS SECTIONS

Formation of stray grain defects particularly around re-entrant features of the turbine blade airfoils is one of the major problems in directional and single crystal solidification processes. In this work, directional solidification tests of the GTD-111 Ni-based superalloy were conducted at different withdrawal velocities of 3, 6 and 9 mm.min-1 using various stepped cylindrical and cubic design...
