Abstract: | The microstructure of the solutionized and aged nickel-base superalloy B-1900 + Hf was examined after additional aging at
982 °C for 72, 250, and 1000 hours. Alloy compositions that were examined contained the normal 1.34 at. pct (4.3 wt pct).
Ta as well as 0.67 at. pct and zero Ta levels. The γ phase agglomerated, became plate-like in morphology, and decreased in
volume fraction for all three alloys throughout the aging treatments. Changes which occurred in the γ and γ' phase compositions
were nearly complete after 72 hours of aging while changes in the MC carbide composition continued throughout the aging. Blocky
M6C carbides precipitated along the grain boundaries of all three alloys in the first 72 hours of aging. In addition, an acicular
form of this Mo/Cr/Ni-rich carbide developed in the intragranular regions of the Ta-containing alloys.
