A polycrystalline L1(2)-hardened Co-base superalloy was creep deformed at 750 degrees C. The investigation of the deformed microstructure in the transmission electron microscope revealed microtwinning to be the prevailing deformation mechanism. The detected twins spanned the entire grain and cut through both, gamma and gamma'. Detailed high-resolution transmission electron microscopy investigations indicated that twin growth takes place by the slip of single a/6 (112) partial dislocations along the twin boundary. Further analysis of the twin boundaries in the gamma' phase revealed segregation of elements known to decrease the stacking fault energy and a local depletion of gamma' forming elements. We propose that this segregation behavior enables subsequent a/6 < 112 > dislocations to easily slip along the twin boundary and further thicken the twins in the process.
