In order to measure the local lattice parameters in the gamma-matrix and in the gamma-prime-particles and to obtain information on the lattice mismatch and internal stresses, X-ray line profile measurements were performed on monocrystalline specimens of SRR 99 with axes close to the (001) direction. In the undeformed state these intensity distributions indicate that the local lattice parameters vary spatially in the gamma-phase. For the case of the creep-deformed specimens, whereas the asymmetry of the (020) line profiles was enhanced to the extent that a hump or a second peak appeared, the asymmetry of the (002) line profiles was reversed in sign. A quantitative evaluation yielded mean values of the constrained lattice mismatch which, in the case of creep-deformed specimens, differ significantly for the (001) and (010) lattice plane spacings. It is concluded that the orientation-dependent lattice spacings represent a triaxial state of residual stress which has its origin in the superposition of the originally present coherency stresses and the deformation-induced internal stresses. 32 refs.
