;Strengthening of single crystals of an L1(2)-long-range ordered gamma ' -p
hase by coherent disordered spherical f.c.c. gamma -precipitates has been e
xperimentally investigated. The overall composition of the material is (at.
%): Ni 69, Co 9, Al 18, Ti 4. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) has
been measured at 253 K for homogeneous, i.e. gamma -free specimens and for
specimens strengthened by three different gamma -precipitate dispersions.
The experimental results for the CRSS are in good agreement with those obta
ined by computer simulations (Part I) and are satisfactorily represented by
Friedel's relation. The relevant configurations of dislocations have been
studied by transmission electron microscopy. (C) 2001 Acta Materialia Inc.
