Abstract: The effect of chromium (Cr) on solidification and segregation behavior of Re-containing cast Ni-base superalloys was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electronic probe micro analysis (EPMA). The results show that Cr has significant effect on solidification and segregation behavior of Re-containing cast Ni-base superalloys. The liquidus and solidus of alloy decrease with increasing Cr in alloys. The segregation coe±cient (K) of Mo increases and that of W and Re decreases gradually with increasing Cr element.
