The cutting of {gamma}{prime}-particles by dislocations during shear creep deformation of CMSX 6 superalloy single crystals loaded on the macroscopic crystallographic shear system {l_angle}110{r_angle}{l_brace}111{r_brace} at T = 1,025 C and {tau} = 85 MPa is analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The formation of a {l_angle}010{r_angle}-dislocation in the {gamma}{prime}-phase was observed and investigated by means of stereo microscopy, line trace and g{center_dot}b-analysis. Two {gamma}-matrix channel dislocations with different Burgers vectors (b) of type a{sub 0}/2<110> jointly shear the {gamma}{prime}-particle where they form a superdislocation with a total Burgers vector of a{sub 0}{l_angle}010{r_angle}. The present paper provides microstructural evidence for this high temperature cutting process. The results are discussed in relation to the evolution of the dislocation structure in the {gamma}-channels during primary creep. Peach-Koehler forces were calculated to explain the formation of the {l_angle}010{r_angle}-dislocation.
