The solidification behavior of two commercial aerospace superalloys, Incoloy 909 and Inconel 718, has been examined. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) revealed that Incoloy 909 terminates solidification with the formation of a single minor constituent at {approx} 1198{degrees}C. Inconel 718 terminates solidification with the formation of two minor constituents at {approx} 1257{degrees}C and {approx} 1185{degrees}C, respectively. Metallography confirmed that a single minor constituent was present in Incoloy 909 while two minor constituents were present in Inconel 718. Samples were also examined by electron probe microanalysis to reveal the patterns of elemental segregation.
