The K439B alloy is a novel equiaxed superalloy and is used for producing hot section components that need to resist high temperatures in aero engines and gas turbines as its temperature capacity exceeds 800oC. In this study, the evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties of K439B equiaxed superalloy after being subjected to long-term aging at 800oC for 3000 h was examined. The predominant deformation mechanisms affecting room-temperature tensile and stress rupture properties at 815oC and under 379 MPa stress following different aging durations for the K439B alloy were investigated.Results indicate that for heat-treated alloy, the morphology of the γ' phase is spherical, MC carbide is generated in the interdendritic region and grain boundaries, while M23C6 carbide is in the grain boundaries. During long-term aging at 800oC, γ′ precipitates conform to the Ostwald ripening mechanism for growth and tend to take a cubic form; the coarsening rate of the γ′ phase is calculated to be 71.7 nm3/h; Additionally, the MC carbide deteriorates while the content of M23C6 carbide gradually increases. After long-term aging for 3000 h, the precipitated grain boundary phase comprises MC carbide, γ′ phase, and M23C6 carbide; the orientation relationship between γ′ phase and M23C6 carbide can be described as [111] γ' //[111] M
