The creep behaviour of MC2 single crystal superalloy has been studied at 1150°C/80 MPa, with an applied load along [001] axis. The resulting dislocation microstructures were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The occurrence of a[010] type dislocations (with a zero Schmid factor) within the ordered γ' precipitates is often observed. It is shown that those dislocations moved by a climb process, based on a mechanism involving two dislocation systems and vacancy exchanges, as proposed in the literature. We calculate the vacancy fluxes associated with such a mechanism and show that the vacancy transportation can be easily insured by a simple diffusion process. This calculation shows that the diffusion and climbing steps do not seem to be the creep rate controlling mechanisms for those situations in MC2 alloy.

Three commercial Al-Mg alloys containing 3 wt.% to 6 wt.% of Mg (AlMg3, AlMg4.5Mn and AlMg6Mn) were subjected to different forming processes: shear spinning and cold rolling. The effect of Mg content and reduction in thickness on the tensile properties and microstructure evolution of Al-Mg alloys were studied. Both optical (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used for the microstructure characterization. The results show that the addition of Mg in these alloys increases the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) in both cold rolled and spun specimens. The strength of all Al-Mg alloys after shear spinning was lower compared to the strength after cold rolling for the same strain. This effect was attributed to the occurrence of dynamic recovery during shear spinning and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy.
