Developments of Cast Superalloys and Technology for Gas Turbine Blades in BIAM R.Z. CHEN BeOing Institute ofAeronautical Materials, Be(ling 100095, P.R. China Abstract. Since 1960s many important subjects relating to cast turbine blades including alloy developments, directional solidification (DS) and single crystal (SC) technique and casting technology for blades have been per- formed with great successes in Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials (BIAM) in order to meet the requirements for developing new aero-engines in China. Keywords: turbine blade, cast supera]loy, crystal orientation control, ceramic core, shell mould Abbreviations: CC conventional cast DS directional solidification FC fine grain cast SC single crystal Alloy developments In BIAM, as in many foreign material research departments, the developments of cast turbine blade superalloys have been considered as one of the most important subjects. For more than thirty years, a series of advanced performance cast superalloys have been developed for making blades, vanes and other high temperature parts of various aero-engines. The chemical compositions and typical properties of some cast superalloys developed in BIAM are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from Fig. 1 that the mechanical properties of these alloys are comparable with alloys developed in other countries. The alloy DZ4 is a Hf- free DS superalloy [1], which possesses rather high creep-rupture strength and excellent castability. The alloy DD3 is a single crystal superalloy which is developed by using the alloy design procedure [2]. Its high temperature creep-rup
