In situ straining experiments in a high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM)
have been performed on the oxide-dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel-base
superalloy INCONEL MA 754 at 1020 and 1065 K. The results can be interprete
d by interfacial pinning of dislocations at the dispersoids and, in some ca
ses, by the Orowan mechanism. In addition to the thermally activated detach
ment of dislocations from particles, a viscous friction mechanism possibly
due to point defect diffusion in the dislocation cores and Taylor hardening
contribute to the flow stress. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r
