Abstract: The solidification process of GH5188 alloy with different La contents (0.03%, 0.07%, 0.10% and 0.40%) at the cooling rate of 10 ℃/min was dynamic in-situ observed by using confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), and the effects of La content on the solidification process, as-cast microstructure and precipitated phases of the GH5188 alloy were studied. The results show that with the increase of La content, the initial solidification temperature and the solid-liquid two-phase region of the GH5188 alloy become higher and larger. The solidification process is slow-rapid-slow solidification, and the higher the La content, the smaller the peak solidification rate. With the increase of La content, the as-cast microstructure of the alloy changes from dendrite to equiaxed crystal, and the size of the precipitated phases increases. When the La content reaches 0.40%, the precipitated phases change from M6C+M23C6 to (Ni,Co)xLa+M23C6, and the formed La-containing intermetallic compound is easy to crack during solidification.
