AFOSR MEANS2 Working Meeting HRTEM/STEM CHARACTERIZATION Outline: Microstructure of 0.2% crept (tension) Rene104 • Isolated faulting in ’ • Intrinsic Stacking faults in the Matrix Microstructure of 2% crept (tension) Rene104 • Examination of structure of thicker twins
ISOLATED FAULTING • One of the feature of the 0.2% deformed microstructure • Not as prevalent as the SF on a different (111) slip plane • Faulting observed predominantly in the ’ precipitates OBSERVATIONS • Ended at the ’ interface • Ended at a SF • Transmitted through 100 nm

ISOLATED FAULT ANALYSIS • Stronger intensity in the SESF (heavier elements => partitioning) • Stronger indication of Ordering • Confirmation of SESF or CSF not possible
