In conclusion, it appears that the formation of fine subgrain structures, the high dislocation density exhibited at subgrain boundaries of various orientations, and the locking of these boundaries by second-phase particles as a result of thermomechanical treatments are major contributors to the METALLURGICALTRANSACTIONSA

Creep strength parameters are often defined in terms of observed minimum creep rate (k) and rupture life (tr) at a given stress and temperature.~ When reference is made to an increase in creep strength, it is invariably accompanied by an increase in rupture life and a decrease in creep rate. 2 Nickel-based superalloys are strengthened through carbide precipitation at the grain boundaries and 7' precipitation within the grains. 3,4Discrete grain boundary carbides are generally considered beneficial since they reduce the extent of grain boundary sliding and therefore the onset of creep cavitation and rupture.3'5 Some workers 6'7 have tried to correlate the creep rate variations with carbide particle size in complex superalloys, e.g., Nimonic 105. The matrix 3" dispersion is established to hinder the dislocation movement within the grain interiors, and the minimum creep rate has been shown to vary as the cube root of the 3" volume fraction. 8 It is, however, unclear as to which microstructural features predominantly influence the individual creep A.K.
