A Study of Grain Selection in Two-Dimensional (2D) Grain Selectors during the Investment Casting of Single-Crystal Superalloy

In this study, a series of Bridgman casting experiments were conducted to study the physical processes occurring in 2D grain selectors with different geometric parameters. The corresponding effects of the geometric parameters on grain selection were quantified by using an optical microscopy (OM) and...
