Single crystal Nickel-base superalloys are composite consisting of high volume fractions of the ordered L1[sub 2] [gamma][prime] phase embedded in the fcc matrix. Due to the misfit between the two phases, coherency stresses arise in the microstructure. FEM calculations of the principal stress distributions have shown that the narrow matrix channels are highly loaded in compression parallel to the [gamma]/[gamma][prime] interfaces, while tensile stresses perpendicular to the interfaces are small. The interior of the [gamma][prime] cube is under low tensile stress. In the present paper the authors are interested in the evolution of interfacial dislocations at the early stages of creep and at medium temperature where diffusion effects can be neglected. The interfacial dislocations are used for an experimental check of the micromechanical and the crystallographic model.
