Abstract  Nickel based superalloys with high content of tungsten (W) have been applied to cast the large size die. Because the formation of large amount of primary M 6 C phase embrittles the die, it is necessary to explore the forming condition of primary M 6 C. The experiments prove that the alloys containing carbon content higher than 0.15% (mass fraction) tend to precipitate primary M 6 Ccarbide and 10% Co can restrict the formation of M 6 C effectively. The primary M 6 C forms at 1375℃. The cooling rate between the solid and liquid temperature range can influence the precipitation of this phase sensitively. Rapid cooling retard the formation of M 6 C obviously. The section size effect of the formation of M 6 C exists in castings. For a heavy section possessing dendrite spacing higher than 150m, it is very easy to form M 6 C with a millimeter magnitude, which damages the high temperature strength of alloys. To prevent the precipitation of M 6 C in large size section die, the composition of alloy is recommended to maintain at the level of 0.04%---0.07% C and 10%---15% Co.
