Abstract

A new seed making method with cold crucible by power off technique was proposed. The cold crucible quenched seed with columnar structure has a similar cross-section shape as that of the cold crucible, and can be directly used for the directional solidification processes. The proposed method can significantly simplify the seeded directional solidification process and avoid the contamination from the seed machining.
