Bridgman directional solidification of investment castings is a key technology for the production of reliable and highly efficient gas turbine blades. In this paper, a mathematical model for three-dimensional (3D) simulation of solidification process of single crystal investment castings was developed based on basic heat transfer equations. Complex heat radiation among the multiple blade castings and the furnace wall was considered in the model. Temperature distribution and temperature gradient in superalloy investment castings of single blade and multiple ones were investigated, respectively. The calculated cooling curves were compared with the experimental results and agreed well with the latter. It is indicated that the unsymmetrical temperature distribution and curved liquid-solid interface caused by the circle distribution of multiple turbine blades are probably main reasons why the stray grain and other casting defects occur in the turbine blade.

The directional solidification process of turbine blade sample castings was investigated in the work. Variable withdrawal rates were used in one withdrawal process and compared with the other using uniform rate. A mathematical model for heat radiation transfer and microstructure simulation of directional solidification process was developed based on CA-FD method. The temperature distribution and microstructure were simulated and compared with the experimental results. The stray grains were predicted and compared with the experimental results. The uneven temperature distribution of platform was the main reason of the formation of stray grains.
