Abstract: Equilibrium solidification phase diagram of GH 4738 superalloy was calculated by using Thermal-calc software, based on which experimental parameters of homogenization treatment was established.The segregation of as-cast GH4738 superalloy was observed by using OM and SEM ,the laws of element segregation in the as-cast alloy with as-cast and different diffused annealing state at different temperatures were studied by using EPMA technique.The results show that Ti element segregation is the most serious in the as-cast alloy, the segregation of Ti element is significantly improved after the alloy treated by high-temperature diffusion annealing process, and the effect is the most significant after annealing at 1200 ℃ for 50 h. Meanwhile, the change curves of the residual segregation index versus temperature is calculated, and the calculated results are basically in accord with the experimental results.
