Abstract

A film cooling hole is an efficient and reliable cooling method, which is widely used in aeroengine turbine blades to effectively improve the thrust–weight ratio of the engine. Electrical discharge machining is the most common manufacturing process for film cooling holes. Due to the rapid quenching after high-temperature melting, a certain thickness of the recast layer will be formed in the vicinity of the hole wall. The microstructure of the recast layer is considered to be an important factor affecting the performance of single-crystal blades. Generally, the recast layer has been thought of as one of the main reasons for the failure of turbine blades. Accordingly, the formation of the recast layer is an important and interesting issue to be revealed. In this work, the recast layer formed using electrical discharge machining on a single-crystal superalloy is studied with TEM. It is found that the recast layer is in the state of supersaturated solution with a single-crystal structure epitaxially grown from the matrix, and many dislocations were observed therein.
