Abstract The high lateral resolution CBED method was applied to measure the local elastic strain distributions in the two phases g and g¢ of the monocrystalline nickel-base superalloy CMSX-6 crept at 980℃. CBED measurements show that there is a difference of elastic strain in the vertical and horizontal g channels, which is thought to be the driving force for rafting. An inhomogeneous distribution of elastic strains is also observed in the g¢ phase.
