摘要

The suppression of stray grains during seed melt-back of single-crystal superalloy through thermal resistance technique has been investigated based on both experimental observations and numerical simulation. The results indicate that the introduction of thermal resistance layer significantly suppresses the stray grain formation of single-crystal superalloy. Based on both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, above results should be attributed to the decrease of radial heat transfer of sample in the thermal resistance layer.
