Abstract
A study was conducted on defect structures, orientation relationships, and compositional profiles at DIGM boundaries in Ni-Cu diffusion couples. TEM revealed dislocations at the initial grain boundary positions of the DIGM zones in the Ni substrate. The misorientation between the DIGM zones and the matrix (across the dislocation wall) was determined by electron diffraction and found to be less than 0.5°. Cu profiles across the DIGM zones were obtained by TEM/EDS analysis. The formation of the dislocation wall is discussed in terms of the misorientation and lattice misfit between the DIGM zones end the matrix.
