Abstract

In this paper we describe the crystallographic characterization of directionally solidified nickel base superalloys using electron diffraction techniques. It is shown that there appears to be some maximum level of misorientation that is prevalent in the low-angle boundary population in these systems. The misorientation distribution has two subpopulations: below about 6° and between 10-15°. The origin of these sub-populations is related to the high temperature boundary structure near Tm. The results are important to high-temperature processing, particularly hot deformation and directional solidification.
