“…[
56 ] The fine scale of the precipitates meant that the precipitate size distribution and volume fraction were difficult to obtain experimentally (using etching techniques) without introducing significant stereological errors. [
57,58 ] As a consequence of this, the precipitate volume fractions were estimated using Thermo‐Calc based on the observed phases (γ, γ′, and γ″ if present). The burgers vector b was assumed to be of the conventional
type, and the shear modulus G equal to that of a similar polycrystalline nickel‐base superalloy, in this case 718Plus (64 GPa at 700 °C).…”
