Temperature distribution in the casting was simulated using the ray tracing method to deal with the heat radiation. Microstructure was simulated with the modified CA method and three dimensional nested macro and micro grids. Latent heat releasing was calculated during microstructure simulation, which was coupled with the macro temperature calculation. Based on multi-scale modeling results, the shrinkage cavity, macroporosity and microporosity defects in the casting were predicted with the equivalent liquid surface descending method, Niyama Criterion and Darcy Law, respectively. Experiments for superalloy turbine wheel casting were carried out. The results show that the simulated cooling curves, microstructure and defects’ positions correspond well with the experimental. Various defects in the casting can be predicted precisely with the proposed model. Key words: superalloy; investment casting; multi-scale mod
