Abstract

Unwanted recrystallization during heat treatment of a directionally solidified nickel alloy single crystal casting is prevented by chemical milling the part before heat treatment. Removal of a layer of as little as 0.013-0.050 mm thick, less than two percent of the part thickness, has been found effective.
