    Abstract

    Samples of the superalloy GTD-111 used for blades in gas turbines have been artificially thermal damaged by use of either isothermal or isochronous heat treatment up to the point of incipient melting. The microstructure has been assessed by use of SEM and subsequent image analysis of both the large cuboidal g'-particles and the fine ageing g'-particles. The area density of the fine ageing g'-particles in the core of the dendrites may be used for estimation of the stage of thermal damage up to the point of damage, where all fine particles are dissolved. The generated atlas of microstructures may be helpful for giving rough estimates of the thermal history up to the stage of incipient melting.
