Abstract
Lattice strain evolution is measured by neutron diffractrometry during tensile testing of a high volume fraction polycrystal nickel superalloy. The intergranular strains reveal anisotropic deformation, with the {200} plane being least stiff and the {111} being the stiffest. Initial plasticity is due to yielding of the {220}. Deconvolution of the {200} and {220} doublets reveals co-deformation of γ and γ′ phases during plasticity. Comparisons are drawn with low and medium volume fraction superalloys.
