The Relationship of Microstructure to Fracture and Corrosion Behavior of a Directionally Solidified Superalloy

SUMMARY GTD-111 DS is a directionally solidified superalloy currently used in turbine engines. To accurately predict the life of engine components it is essential to examine and characterize the microstructural evolution of the material and its effects on material properties. The as-cast microstruct...
