Fatigue crack initiation at high temperatures occurs at microscopic fatigue shear bands that form near twin boundaries in polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys that contain minimal metallurgical defects. The associated dislocation sub-structure is complex and dependent on thermal and mechanical conditions. Here we show the formation of fine-scale carbide precipitates along these fatigue shear bands in a nickel-base superalloy during fatigue above 650 °C. The formation of carbide precipitates is studied using calculations of bulk and pipe diffusion. The contribution of pipe diffusion is observed to be critical in the formation of fine-scale carbides and occurs coincident with the delocalization of slip during fatigue.
