Aimed at the great metallographic structure differences between every part of the large-scale thin-wall complex integral precise titanium alloy casting, a non-destructive evaluation method based on metallographic structure statistical analysis is proposed. Under the non-destructive condition, the casting skin structure information is given by means of handheld microscope. The casting skin structure statistic model is established. And the result of integral casting structure is given. Through comparative analysis between non-destructive evaluation (Method A) and metallography detection of the dissect sample (Method B), the results show that the non-destructive evaluation evaluates the metallographic structure effectively. The mean value and half-width of the grain size distribution curves fit the characteristic of Gaussian distribution. And the grain size mean value in both two methods increase linearly along with the casting thickness, and the slope deviation is within the limits of 6%; the half-width relative deviation increases exponentially along with the casting thickness, approached 26%.
