Abstract

The cold neutron imaging and diffraction instrument IMAT, at the second target station of the pulsed neutron and muon source ISIS, is used to investigate bulk mosaicity within as-cast single crystal CMSX-4 and CMSX-10 Ni-base superalloys. Within this study, neutron transmission spectrum is recorded by each pixel within the microchannel plate image detector. The movement of the lowest transmission wavelength within a specified Bragg-dip for each pixel is tracked. The resultant Bragg-dip shifting has enabled crystallographic orientation mapping of bulk single crystal specimens with good spatial resolution. The total acquisition time required to collect sufficient statistics for each test is ~ 3 h. In this work, the influence of a change in bulk solidification conditions on the variation in single crystal mosaicity was investigated. Misorientation of the (001) crystallographic plane has been visualised and a new spiral twisting solidification phenomena observed. This proof of concept work establishes time-of-flight energy-resolved neutron imaging as a fundamental characterisation tool for understanding and visualising mosaicity within metallic single crystals and provides the foundation for post-mortem deduction of the shape of the solid/liquid isotherm.
