In this paper, the local compositional and structural changes occurring in association with stacking faults in a Ni-base superalloy are characterized and related to the possible rate-controlling processes during creep deformation at intermediate temperatures. These rate-controlling processes are not presently understood. In order to promote stacking fault shearing, compression creep tests on specially prepared single crystals of an exploratory Ni-base superalloy were conducted at 760 degrees C in the [001 1 orientation. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging was coupled with state-of-the-art energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy to reveal for the first time an ordered compositional variation along the extrinsic faults inside the gamma' precipitates, and a distinct solute atmosphere surrounding the leading partial dislocations. The local structure and chemistry at the extrinsic fault is consistent with the 11 phase, a D0(24) hexagonal structure. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and high angle annular dark field (HAADF)STEM image simulations are consistent with local eta phase formation and indicate that a displacive diffusive transformation occurs dynamically during deformation.
