Abstract: In this paper we present μSAXS and TEM investigations on the local microstructure of an experimental W-rich single crystal Ni-base γ/γ′-superalloy. Using the ID13(ESRF) X-ray microfocus beam we scanned a small sample area and were able to distinguish between different precipitate phases (γ′/σ). The σ phase could be unambiguously identified by comparing the data to numerical two-dimensional simulations on similar alloys, e.g. SCA, SC16. The low concentrated detrimental platelet TCP σ phase, which was not detectable in SANS on the same alloy, seems to be ordered in stacks with a preferential orientation perpendicular to the [3 2 0]-direction.
