The aim of the experiment is to monitor the temporal evolution of gamma prime precipitates in three polycrystalline nickel base superalloys using Sans2D. This instrument is unique in that it will allow the simultaneous characterisation of both the secondary gamma prime (70-400nm) and the tertiary gamma prime (5-50nm) precipitate distributions. The results that will be obtained will be used to validate computer models of the precipitation behaviour in these alloys along with data acquired using TEM and 3DAPT. The three alloys have been chosen (RR1000, U720, Waspaloy) as they exhibit a range of precipitation kinetics and morphologies representative of polycrystalline nickel based superalloys. For each alloy data will be acquired continuously for 16 hours at the appropriate precipitate aging temperature. Given set up time a total of 3 DAYS of beam time is requested on Sans2D.
