Abstract

The microstructure of creep specimens tested at 1253 K is analyzed in the three stages of the creep curve by TEM investigations. Stage I is characterized by the glide of screw dislocations in the matrix, while the transition to stage II is the beginning of γ′ rafting. Throughout stage II, the γ′ phase is not cut by dislocations. From these and other metallographic results, the mechanism of creep in the single-crystal alloy can be deduced. The misfit stress at the γ/γ′ interfaces proved to be of special importance for this type of alloy containing a high volume fraction of γ′.
