Single crystal superalloys are widely used in high temperature sections of turbines, where they are able to withstand extended exposure to high temperatures. As these alloys are commonly cast and directionally solidified via the Bridgman process, the knowledge of their solidification path is of great importance. This paper gives an overview of aspects of the solidification path in superalloys, as studied experimentally and from a modeling and simulation point of view. The implications of microsegregation, and sequence of phase formation are discussed. Attention is given to the processes leading to the formation of interdendritic γ′, also often referred to as the γ/γ′ eutectic.
