A. Dlouhy et G. Eggeler, ON THE FORMATION AND MOTION OF [010] - DISLOCATIONS DURING HIGH-TEMPERATURE LOW-STRESS CREEP OF SUPERALLOY SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 234, 1997, pp. 958-961
The cutting of gamma'-particles by dislocations during shear creep of
superalloy single crystals loaded on the shear system [110]{111} at T
= 1025 degrees C and tau = 85 MPa is analysed. It was found that two g
amma-matrix channel dislocations with different Burgers vectors of typ
e (a0)/(2)[110] jointly shear the gamma'-particle and compose a superd
islocation with a Burgers vector of a(0)[010]. Peach-Koehler forces we
re calculated which are associated with the birth of these superdisloc
ations. The results of the numerical study show that the formation of
[010] dislocations in the superalloy microstructure is energetically f
avourable. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
