Components in gas turbines fabricated of Ni base superalloys operate under complex creep and fatigue conditions.
Main structural changes during exposure: morphology change - rafting of γ’ precipitates in γ matrix.
Residual lifetime estimation: need to evaluate reliably the progress of γ’ degradation in dependence on exposure …
… and relate these changes to the magnitude of stress
Information can be obtained form the analysis of geometrical parameters of the γ’ microstructure and γ/ γ’ misfit [1,2].
Bulk sensitive SANS: detection of morphological changes in γ’ phase due to the operation condition [3].

A different extent of γ'-precipitates rafting was observed for variously exposed positions inside the sample
The tendency corresponds to the expected evolution: the larger stress, the more advanced rafting process.
Qualitatively, the 2D scattering curves confirmed the results of the electron microscopy performed on the samples from the same bar
The detailed evaluation of the data brought a series of morphological parameters in dependence on the applied stress.
The use of conic sample and spatial scan facilitates determination of microstructure evolution in dependence on exposure parameters
