Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high-temperature heating, in particular to high-temperature heating of a sample suitable for directional solidification and fusion casting of materials in a hypergravity environment.

The high-pressure turbine working blade is one of key components of a hot end part of an aeroengine and a gas turbine, works under the coupling loading conditions of high temperature, high pressure, high rotating speed, alternating load and the like for a long period of service, is a rotating part with the worst working condition in the engine, and the use reliability of the rotating part directly influences the performance of the whole engine. In the development process of the high-temperature alloy, the process plays a great promoting role in the development of the high-temperature alloy. Generally, in order to improve the comprehensive mechanical property of the high-temperature alloy, two approaches are adopted: one is that a large amount of alloying elements are added, and solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, grain boundary strengthening and the like are generated through a reasonable heat treatment process, so that the high-temperature alloy is ensured to have good strength from room temperature to high temperature, surface stability and better plasticity; and secondly, starting from a solidification process, preparing columnar crystal high-temperature alloy with grain boundaries parallel to a main stress axis so as to eliminate harmful transverse grain boundaries or preparing single crystal high-temperature alloy with all grain boundaries eliminated by adopting a directional solidification process.
Because the transverse crystal boundary of the directional and single crystal blade is eliminated or the crystal boundary is completely eliminated, the crystal grows along the specific direction of [001], the initial melting temperature and the temperature of a solid solution treatment window are improved, the number of gamma rays is increased and refined, the performance is greatly improved, and the use temperature is improved.
