Abstract
One of the most notable applications of single-crystal orientation to control elastic modulus and associated mechanical properties is vested in the production and use of directionally grown turbine blades from superalloy compositions. This chapter provides examples of this phenomenon from both a historical and contemporary perspective. These examples epitomize the development and control of microstructure to achieve specific properties and performance based on processing schedules and selective routines.
