Abstract
This invention relates to a method for controlling the grain size distribution in cast parts made from nickel-based superalloys. Such methods of this type, generally, employ the use of different inoculant concentration levels to balance the differences in cooling rates that occur at different regions of the cast part in order to achieve the desired microstructure of the cast part.
