Abstract

Crystallographic characteristics of a large number of Σ3 boundaries have been investigated in a nickel superalloy. The results indicated that {111}, vicinal-to-{111} (within 10° of {111} planes) and not-{111} Σ3s were all present in the sample population. At Σ3/Σ3/Σ9 junctions a combination of one {111} and one vicinal-to-{111} Σ3 was more likely to occur than two {111} or two not-{111} Σ3s, and an explanation is proposed. An analysis of the interface planes for the not-{111} Σ3s indicated that more than half the boundaries in this category could not have {211}{211}, {774}{855}, {111}{511}, {001}{221} or {110}{411} planes.
