The phase transformation temperature, segregation behavior of elements and as-cast microstructure were investigated in experimental nickel-base superalloys with different levels of carbon and boron. The results show that the liquidus temperature decreases gradually but the carbide solvus temperature increases obviously with increasing carbon addition. Minor boron addition to the alloy decreases the liquidus temperature, carbide solvus temperature and solidus temperature slightly. Apart from rhenium, the segregation coefficients of the elements alter insignificantly with the addition of carbon. The segregation behavior of rhenium, tungsten and tantalum become more severe with boron addition. The volume fraction and size of primary carbides increase with increasing carbon addition. The main morphology of the carbides is script-like in the alloys with carbon addition while the carbide sheets tend to be concentrated and coarse in the boron-containing alloys.%研究元素碳和硼对含铼镍基定向柱晶高温合金相转变温度、元素偏析和碳化物析出相的影响。结果表明：随着碳含量的增加，液相线温度逐步降低，而碳化物的析出温度上升。硼的添加造成合金液相线温度、碳化物析出温度和固相线温度均下降。随着碳含量的增加，铼元素的偏析先增大后减小，而其它元素的偏析程度变化并不是很大。铼、钨、钽的偏析随硼的加入而逐渐增大。合金中碳化物的形态主要为汉字体状，碳化物数量随着碳含量的增加逐渐增大。添加硼元素的合金中析出的碳化物较不含硼元素的合金中析出的碳化物更加集中和粗大。
