文摘The features of microstructure and their influence on mechanical properties on stress-rupture as well as thermal fatigue of directionally solidified DZ38G nickel-base su- peralloy have been investigated.It has been found that the contents of carbides on grain boundaries are increased and morphology of γ'- precipitates has been changed after testing.
