采用ProCAST软件系统研究了LMCCLiquidMetalCooling)以及HRSCHighRateSolidification)工艺下,不同工艺参数对单晶铸件凝固过程中纵向温度梯度、温度梯度角、凝固界面位置的影响。结果表明:HRS工艺受型壳厚度影响很小,型壳表面的辐射散热是HRS工艺的主要影响因素,型壳的导热或者型壳和合金之间的换热是LMC工艺的主要影响因素;提高保温炉温度有利于提高纵向温度梯度;拉速是影响定向凝固最重要的参数,随拉速的增加,单晶铸件的纵向温度梯度先增大后减小,因此,制备不同合金铸件时应当采用不同的拉速;不同浇注温度时,经过l〇min的静置时间后,单晶铸件的初始温度分布趋于一致,对后续凝固过程影响很小。提出了以纵向温度梯度G//、温度梯度角6以及凝固界面位置氏考察定向凝固工艺参数优劣的标准,纵向温度梯度、温度梯度角、凝固界面位置是评价定向凝固参数优劣的有效手段。
