摘　　要：The microstructures and crystal growth directions of permanent mould casting（PMC） and directionally solidified（DS） Al-Cu alloys with different contents of Cu were investigated. Simultaneously, the effects of pouring temperature on the microstructure and crystal growth direction of permanent mould casting pure Al were also discussed. The results indicate that the α（Al） crystals in the pure Al do not always keep common columnar grains, but change from the columnar grains to columnar dendrites with developed arms as the pouring temperature rises. The growth direction also varies with the change of pouring temperature. Cu element has similar effects on the microstructures of the PMC and DS casting Al-Cu alloys and the α（Al） crystals gradually change from columnar crystals in turn to columnar dendrites and developed equiaxed dendrites as the Cu content increases. The crystal growth direction in the PMC alloys gradually approaches （110） orientation with increasing Cu content. But the resulting crystals with growth direction of （110） do not belong to feathery grains. There are also no feathery grains to form in all of the DS Al-Cu alloys.研究金属型铸造(PMC)和定向凝固(DS)不同Cu含量Al-Cu的显微组织和晶体生长方向,同时,探讨浇铸温度对纯Al的显微组织和晶体生长方向的影响。结果表明,纯Al晶体并非始终保持胞状,而是随着浇铸温度的升高从胞状晶变为具有发达晶臂的柱状树枝晶,且晶体的生长方向也随之改变。Cu元素对PMC和DS Al-Cu合金显微组织的影响相似:随着Cu含量的增加,α(Al)晶体均从胞状晶依次转变为柱状晶、柱状树枝晶和发达的等轴晶。随着Cu含量的增加,PMC合金晶体的生长方向逐渐逼近(110)方向,但所形成的(110)向的晶体并不属于羽毛状晶体。在所有DS Al-Cu合金中也未发现羽毛状晶体。
