Superlattice stacking faults play an important part in the deformation processes of γ/γ' Ni-based superalloys. However, recent studies using the weak-beam technigue have brought into question the previously accepted mechanism for shearing of the γ'precipitates. A new shearing mechanism involving a single a/2<110> matrix dislocation and the nucleation of a Shockley partial has been proposed. In the present study, TEM weak-beam and bright field image matching techniques have been used to study the elementary shearing configurations of γ'precipitates in [001] single crystals of superalloys after creep (intermediate temp.) and dynamical (high temp.) tests in compression and tension.The observations show a change of configurations between compression and tension: in dynamical compression, precipitates are mainly sheared by leading S-ESF (Fig. 1); and in tension creep by leading S-ISF (Fig. 2). Both dynamical tension and compression creep give a mixture of S-ISF and S-ESF.
