In the past few years, it has been discussed with increasing frequency, whether cube slip does occur in {gamma}{prime} hardened nickel-base superalloys. There are two basic methods to detect cube slip: macroscopic slip trace analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of the dislocation structure. Few observations of cube slip by macroscopic slip traces are reported in the literature. This investigation is part of a project being concerned with the anisotropy and the tension-compression asymmetry of the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of nickel-base superalloys. Different orientations were investigated in tensile and compression mode, including [111] orientation.
