Abstract
The effect of thermal variations on the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) in a MAR-M247 Ni-based superalloy has been studied by a novel method based on a physical simulation of melting/solidification experiments with a constant cooling rate and variable temperature gradient. The method proved to be effective as it yielded a spread of microstructures corresponding to a range of well-controlled solidification rates in a single melting/solidification experiment. In addition, it has been demonstrated that SDAS is better related to the solidification rate than to the cooling rate in cases when significant variations of thermal parameters during the solidification process occur.
