Abstract: The solidification microstructure and phase composition of Ni-base superalloy FGH95 pow- der with different mesh size have been investigated.The structure transition was found from dendrite in major into cellular structure as the powder size reduces and the cooling rate in- creases.The predominant phase was identified as MC-type carbide,with different morphologies,which may be related to their composition and the condition of solidification.Minor phases,such as boride,Laves and primary γ' are also present as ac- companiments of the carbide.

Key words: powder metallurgy, superalloy, microstructure, solidification
