5.1.7 Special Aging/Special Alloys 5.1.7.1 Alloy #17 -- Solution Heat Treated, Quenched and Aged at 760 C for 100 Hours An image of this ternary alloy along a B = <112> direction is shown in Figure 5.27c. The microstructure of this alloy is essentially identical to the RSR alloys. This would be expected since both the RSR alloys and the cast alloys were solution heat treated prior to aging. After the 100 hour heat treatment, the phase distribution is similar to the phase distribution in RSR 197 after a similar thermal treatment (see section 5.1.4.1). Figure 5.27a is a B = (100> selected area diffraction pattern. This pattern should be compared with Figure 5.6a. Figure 5.27b is a combined g=1/4(420), g=1/5(420) dark field image showing the similarity in the precipitate morphology between the D022 and Dla phases in this ternary alloy and RSR 197, aged for the same time. 5.1.7.2 Alloy #17 -- Solution Heat Treated, Quenched and Aged at 870 C for 100 Hours Figure 5.28a is a B = [001] two beam image showing a well developed interfacial dislocation structure. Figure 5.28b, a B = (100> selected area diffraction pattern shows that no metastable phases are present at the aging temperature. This sample was water quenched after aging. The RSR alloys were all air quenched after aging.
