TEM, S-250 SEM), heat-treatment furnaces, and metallographic & computerized equipment; and
achieved good microstructural control in a new P/M IN-792. The superalloy was thus rendered
suitable for application in turbine blades. I extensively used computerized image analyzers and
`VIDS General Measurement System’ software to measure grain size and γ’ particle size in the
superalloy. I also analyzed electron microdiffraction patterns (via Stereographic Net) and use of a tb
MASTER 2 computer-program to determine CSL values of grain-boundaries, and to establish
crystallographic features (grain-boundary engineering). The kinetics of grain growth in the P/M
superalloy was also quantitatively established by using log-log plots.
