The primary spacing is intrinsically linked with the mechanical behavior of directionally solidified materials. Because of this relationship, a significant amount of solidification work is reported in the literature, which relates the primary spacing to the process variables. This review provides a comprehensive chronological narrative on the development of the directional dendritic growth problem over the past 85 years. A key focus within this review is detailing the relationship between key solidification parameters, the operating point of the dendrite tip, and the primary spacing. This review critiques the current state of directional dendritic growth and primary spacing modelling, briefly discusses dendritic growth computational and experimental research, and suggests areas for future investigation.

Nb-NiTi and Nb-CoTi eutectic alloys were directionally solidified in an optical floating zone furnace. Rod-type eutectic structures with Nb rods aligned parallel to the growth direction are obtained for Nb-41Ni-40Ti grown at relatively slow growth rates below 1.0mm/h, while lamellar-type eutectic structures are obtained for Nb-35Co-34Ti grown at the same condition. The hydrogen permeability for the Nb-41Ni-40Ti DS alloy with Nb rods perpendicular to the membrane surface is 2.60×10-8mol H2 m-1 Pa-1/2 at 673K, which is about 2.5 times higher than that of as-cast sample. No hydrogen embrittlement is observed between 573 and 673K, indicating that the Nb-NiTi rod-type eutectic structure effectively suppresses the hydrogen embrittlement of Nb during hydrogen permeation.

Ti-6Al-4V (wt%) alloy samples with dog-bone and box shapes respectively were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). The microstructures and mechanical properties of the 3D printed Ti-6Al-4V samples with and without heat treatment were characterized and tested. The microstructures of the as-fabricated dog-bone shaped samples were mainly composed of acicular α’ phase. After annealing at 700°C, the acicular α’ phase changed into an α/β lamellar structure. After solution treatment at 955°C, water quenching and aging at 550°C, the microstructure was mainly composed of primary α phase and α/β lamellar structure. The optimum heat treatment is annealing, and the mechanical properties of the annealed sample are as follows: yield strength: 1015 MPa, ultimate tensile strength (UTS): 1083 MPa and elongation to fracture: 7.9%. The microstructures of the box-shaped samples after annealing mainly consist of α phase and α/β lamellar structure. When stretched along the direction parallel to the crystal growth direction, the yield strength and UTS of the sample are 1054 and 1090 MPa,and its elongation to fracture is 6.3%. When stretched along the direction perpendicular to the crystal growth direction, the yield strength and UTS of the sample are 1019 and 1068 MPa respectively, and its elongation to fracture is 8.7%.

AbstractTi-45Al-7Nb alloys are produced by liquid-metal-cooling (LMC) directional solidification (DS) furnace with different temperature gradients (G) at a range of 40–80 K/cm. The growth directions of primary β phases and the deflection angles relative to the 〈100〉β direction were investigated. The solidification pathway of alloy is: Liq. → Liq. + β → β → β + α → α + γ → lamella (α2 + γ) + B2. Primary dendrite arm spacing λ reduced from 611.4 µm to 508.7 µm when G increased from 40 K cm−1 to 80 K cm−1. Grains with lamellar orientation aligned at the angles of 12–15° and 55° to growth direction were favored for various G. The orientations of the γ lamellas in steady-state regions were identified by the electron backscattered diffraction analysis (EBSD). The results indicated that the growth directions of primary bcc-β dendrites were 〈211〉β and 〈110〉β at 40 K/cm, 〈210〉β and 〈211〉β at 50 K/cm and 〈211〉β at 80 K/cm, the deflection angle of 〈211〉β relative to 〈100〉β direction is 35.3°.

ABSTRACTWith a data base now available on the microstructural characteristics and the deformation, fracture and macroscopic flow behavior of polysynthetically twinned (PST) crystals of γ/α2 TiAl-base alloys, an approach to achieve a good combination of strength, ductility and toughness in γ/α2 TiAl-base alloys was proposed using directional solidification (DS) techniques to produce a columnar grain material with the lamellar orientation aligned parallel to the growth direction. Such alignment of the lamellar microstructure was recently accomplished in γ/α2 TiAl-base alloys of near equiatomic compositions using an appropriately oriented seed crystal from the Ti-Al-Si system.At the same time, bi-PST crystals, each containing a planar boundary parallel to the loading axis were prepared by directional solidification and diffusion bonding of two PST crystals. Such bi-PST crystals were deformed in tension at room temperature and their deformation behavior was examined in terms of the compatibility requirements imposed at the grain boundary and the interaction of the two component PST crystals.In this paper, (i) the current status of our DS processing efforts, (ii) some results of microscopic characterization of grain boundaries in diffusion bonded bi-PST crystals and (iii) results of deformation experiments of bi-PST crystals prepared by DS processing and diffusion bonding, will be reported.

Pb-9.3wt.%Sb alloy was directionally solidified upwards under argon atmosphere under the two conditions; with different temperature gradients, (G = 0.93–3.67 K/mm) at a constant growth rate (V = 17.50 μm/s) and with different growth rates (V = 8.30–497.00 μm/s) at a constant (G = 3.67 K/mm) in a Bridgman furnace. The dependence of characteristic microstructure parameters such as primary dendrite arm spacing (λ1), secondary dendrite arm spacing (λ2) and dendrite tip radius (R) on the growth rate (V) and the temperature gradient (G) were determined by using a linear regression analysis. A detailed analysis of microstructure were also made and compared with the theoretical models and similar experimental works on dendritic solidification in the literature.
