Behavior of TiN inclusions and their influence in random grain formation in Ni-based superalloys

Studies on the columnar to equiaxed transition and random grain formation in superalloy turbine blades have suggested that non-metallic inclusions may be a possible nucleation source. Though there is no strong evidence to substantiate the idea, during directional solidification if the inclusions...
