Description

Technical Field

Background
Superalloy components are key components in aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines, and the microstructure of the superalloy component plays a very critical role in the efficiency of the engine. With the increase of the temperature of an air inlet of an engine, the temperature bearing capacity of a single crystal high-temperature alloy blade (namely, the engine blade) is higher and higher. In the preparation process of the single crystal high temperature alloy blade, a reaction layer or a sand-bonded layer and other surface defects are formed on the surface of a casting due to the interface reaction of the high temperature molten alloy, the ceramic shell and the core material, so that the surface quality of the casting is reduced, and the performance of the single crystal high temperature alloy blade in the service process is finally influenced.
Because the single crystal superalloy contains active elements such as carbon, yttrium, hafnium and the like, the elements are easy to react with a ceramic shell to form micro-porosity under a high-temperature condition.

At present, the interface reaction between the high-temperature alloy melt and the ceramic shell is inhibited mainly by filling inert gas into directional solidification equipment and reducing the vacuum degree of the equipment.
