Title: Electron microscopic study of the high tension process of growth of decorated stacking faults in Ni base superalloys (in French)

Journal Article · · Metallography; (United States)

Aspects of the growth of decorated stacking faults in a nickel base alloy are investigated by HVEM. The first stages of precipitation occur on perfect loops and that causes their dissociation into outer Frank and inner Shockley partials. Further expansion of Frank loops leads to two types of extrinsic decorated stacking faults. In the first type, the fault is covered with a thin homogeneous layer of precipitate and bounded by sessile dissociated Frank segments. The second type consists of small spherical precipitates spread on the faulted area; in this case, up-climb of the undissociated bounding Frank loop can occasionally be observed.
