Figure 9

SEM micrograph of (a) aged IN718, and (b) HIPed and aged IN718. Black arrows show the interdendritic γ + γ″ lamellae, and blue arrows show the evolution of grain boundary δ/η-phase upon ageing. Extensive reconstructions of the grain structure, and grain boundary precipitates mostly on the prior boundaries of γ grains can be seen in (b).
