S.N. TEWARI and MAHENDRA KUMAR Gas atomization is now a well-established technique for producing superalloy powders. The microstructure of these powders is mostly dendritic. Secondary dendrite arm spacing (d) in cast alloys is known to vary with the local solidification time (t~) in the following manner: d a ( t , ) m, where m has been experimentally observed to be between 0.3 and 0.5. ~ Due to a low Biot number,
