Abstract

Solutal profiles in dendritic single-crystal specimens of PWA - 1480 nickel -base superalloy , which were directionally solidified and quenched, were examined on several transverse cross-sections to obtain the partition coefficients . Similar to their nickel -base binaries, the partition coefficients of tantalum, titanium, and aluminum were found to be less than unity; those of tungsten and cobalt were greater than unity. The partition coefficients were temperature independent in the range 1584-1608 K. The contribution of solid-state diffusion to microsegregation was observed to be negligible.
