Abstract

Abstract Pure yttria moulds have been prepared for directional solidifications of Nb–22Ti–16Si–6Hf–2Al–2Cr (at. %) alloy with a withdrawal rate of 1 × 10 –4 m s –1 at 1850 °C and 1900 °C. This study demonstrates that a mild interface reaction occurred between the yttria mould and hafnium, the most reactive element in the alloy. A sequential reaction layer of HfO 2 and Y 2 O 3 was formed at metal–mould interface, and its thickness depended on both heating temperature and holding time. HfO 2 –Y 2 O 3 inclusions were dispersed in the metal matrix, and the majority of them concentrated around the solid–liquid interface rather than in steady state growth region. Some inclusions were merged with each other. The reaction mechanism between Nb-silicide based alloy and yttria mould also has been described.
