Abstract

High temperature creep of nickel-based superalloy single crystals is characterized by directional coalescence of the {gamma}{prime} reinforcing precipitates. The morphology of the coalesced structures depends on experimental parameters such as the sense and direction of the creep stress as well as on intrinsic parameters such as the sign of the misfit between matrix and precipitates. For single crystals of the commercial superalloy CMSX-2 submitted to creep at 1,323K, the initially cuboidal {gamma}{prime} precipitates coalesce into platelets arranged perpendicular or parallel to the stress direction when the stress is in tension or in compression, respectively. So far, however, the evolution of the local chemical composition around dislocations had not been experimentally investigated in nickel-based superalloys.
