    摘要: A grain starter for use in solidification of molten metallic material forming an article having a directional grain structure and a method for solidifying an article having a directional grain structure with a substantial absence of stray grains. The grain starter comprises a grain-starting material that initiates grain growth in the molten metallic material in a preselected crystallographic direction. The grain-starting material has a melting temperature higher than the metallic material forming the article lest the grain starter be modified by contact with the molten material. The grain starter further includes a feature that modifies heat transfer characteristics of the metallic material in contact with it in order to produce an article having grains oriented in the preselected crystallographic orientation and modifies the profile of the advancing solidification front. The article is substantially free of stray grains not oriented in the preselected crystallographic direction.

    摘要: An article and a method for forming a single crystal casting are disclosed. The article includes a single crystal nickel-based superalloy having a composition including greater than about 80 ppm boron (B) and a substantially single crystal microstructure with at least one grain boundary. A creep rupture strength of the article is substantially maintained up to a mismatched grain boundary of about 40 degrees. The method for forming a single crystal casting includes positioning a mold on a cooling plate, the mold including a single crystal selector, providing a molten nickel-based superalloy composition in the mold, the molten composition including greater than about 80 ppm boron (B), cooling the molten composition with the cooling plate, and forming a unidirectional temperature gradient by withdrawing the mold from within a heat source to form the single crystal casting including a substantially single crystal microstructure having at least one grain boundary.
