The hardening phase precipitation process plays an important role in the development of new Ni-base superalloys. In the present work, we apply a powerful combination of complementary characterization techniques to characterizein-situthe γ’ precipitation in the new VDM® Alloy 780. During the whole heat treatment process,in-situtime-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction (ND) unambiguously identified the γ’ phase as well as its weight fraction and the misfit with the matrix whilein-situsmall-angle neutron scattering (SANS) provided precise precipitates’ size analysis. Atom probe tomography (APT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided detailed microstructural characterization and chemical composition of the phases necessary for a proper neutron scattering data evaluation. This contribution reveals more detailed information on the nucleation, growth, and Ostwald ripening processes starting from the early precipitation stage in bulk samples using the complementary microstructure investigation methods. The nucleation and growth kinetics of precipitates at 720 °C depend on heating rates and the size distribution obtained in the pre-heating history of the sample. A subsequent heat treatment step at 620 °C, typically used in Ni-base superalloys, does not lead to similar progressive precipitation or growth. The expected matrix-diffusion-controlled Ostwald ripening process of the γ’ precipitates wasin-situmonitored by SANS on a full precipitation hardened sample at expected operating temperatures (750 °C) showing slower coarsening kinetics than other reported Ni-based superalloys.
