The ␥ /␥ Ј interfacial dislocation networks in several creep-ruptured superalloys were analyzed. It was found that the morphologies of dislocation networks differ slightly from each other in these alloys. The fourth-generation superalloy has finer dislocation networks and keeps a relatively stable state. Comparatively, the interfacial dislocations in the third-generation superalloy show obvious curved features associated with possible climb or slip. These interfacial dislocation characteristics can be correlated with the creep behavior of these superalloys. The mechanisms of evolution of the interfacial dislocation networks were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
