Abstract

The diffraction contrast from dissociated ½<112] superdislocations in γ-TiAl intermetallic alloy cannot always be analyzed using conventional rules of diffraction contrast. In particular, the configuration involving three similar Shockley partials on adjacent planes has often been ruled out due to the absence of fringes indicating the presence of stacking faults. In order to determine the dissociated configuration, weak-beam transmission electron microscope observations of edge-oriented ½<112] superdislocations have been correlated with computer simulated images. Dissociation of these superdislocations into three similar ⅙<112] partial dislocations bounding a superlattice extrinsic and intrinsic stacking fault pair has been consequently determined from these analyses. It has been found that diffraction contrast alone cannot distinguish between the various configurations that lead to the formation of the fault pair, but the formation of an antiphase boundary or complex stacking fault linked dissociation or locking by stair rod dislocations can be ruled out.
