Numerical Modelling of Stress and Strain Evolution during Solidification of a Single Crystal Superalloy

During the manufacture of turbine blades from single crystal nickel-based superalloys by investment casting, recrystallisation can occur during solution heat treatment. The introduction of grain boundaries into a single crystal component is potentially detrimental to performance, and therefore manuf...
