Gamma Prime Crystal Lattice Orientation of Turbine Blades of the Single Crystal Nickel Based CMSX-4 Superalloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper attempts to determine the changes in the γ’ lattice orientation of aircraft engine turbine blades made of the CMSX-4 single crystal nickel superalloy. The solidification of a hollow assembly structure for 2 various blades was carried out by the Bridgman method at the Research and Development Laboratory for Aerospace Materials at Rzeszow University of Technology using an ALD Vacuum Technologies vacuum furnace. Ceramic moulds made of Al2O3 were used. The alloy temperature during casting into the mould amounted to 1550°C. The specimens for Laue method tests were cut out from the blades at withdrawal rates of 3 and 4 mm/min.
