Abstract

The compositional and order-disorder transition widths of γ′/γ interfaces in a Co–Al–W alloy have been established for the first time by coupling of aberration corrected high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and orientation-specific atom probe tomography. While the compositional width is approximately 2.5nm, the order-disorder transition width is very sharp measuring 0.5nm. A comparative study revealed that the γ′/γ interfaces, in a model Ni–Al–Cr alloy, are both compositionally and structurally diffuse with nearly the same width (~2.5–3nm). These differences between the γ′/γ interfaces in Co and Ni-base alloys can impact the coarsening behavior of the ordered precipitates.
