The interdendritic segregation along the mushy zone of directionally solidified superalloy Inconel 718 has been measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersion analysis spectrometry (EDAX) techniques and the corresponding liquid composition profile was presented. The liquid density and Rayleigh number (Ra) pro files along the mushy zone were calculated as well. It was found that the liquid density difference increased from top to bottom in the mushy zone and there was no density inversion due to the segregation of Nb and Mo. However carbide formation in the freezing range and the preferred angle of the orientated dendrite array could prompt the fluid flow in the mushy zone although there was no liquid density inversion. The largest relative Rayleigh number appeared at 1,326 °C for Inconel 718 where the fluid flow most easily occurred.
