Effect of remelting processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast Nimonic 90 superalloy was investigated by OM (optical micrograph), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDS (energy-dispersive X-ray) and tensile tests. The results indicated that the microstructure of the as-cast alloy was mainly composed of γ, γ' and carbides which contain Ti and Cr elements. The average grain size of the alloy tends to increase with mould shell temperature ranging from 350°C to 950°C. The strength of the as-cast alloy decreased with the increasing of mold shell temperature, with constant elongation as the mold shell temperature changes.
