Abstract: The effect of trace element B on microstructure of directionally solidified new type Co-base superalloy is studied systematically in this paper. It is found that the addition of B makes the incipient melting temperature of the alloy decline remarkably. Compared with the alloy having a boron content of 0.05 %, the incipient melting temperature of the alloy with 0.7 % B decreases by 197℃. The primary and secondary dendrite arm spacings increase and the volume fraction of interdendritic carbides with fine microstructure becomes bigger with the enhancement of boron content. When the alloy is with 0.7wt %B, M3B2 precipitates in the interdendrites.
