Abstract

M₂B-type borides in nickel-based superalloys containing boron subjected to long-term aging treatments were investigated by means of analytical transmission electron microscopy. Contrast analysis and electron diffraction show that the boride precipitations have dual-phase structures (I4/mcm, C16; Fddd, C_b) with a high density of stacking faults. The faulted planes and displacement vectors are determined as (1 1 0)_C16 and [ _11̄1]C16/4 in C16 structure and (1 0 0)_Cb and [0 1 1]_Cb/4 in C_b structure. Structural models based on a polyhedron of square anti-prisms are proposed not only to rationalize the stacking faults, 60 rotation twin and the intergrowth of structural variants, but also to interpret the newly observed structure in M₂B-type borides.
