The results shown that, after full heat treatment, a high volume of ?? phase and some granular carbide dispersedly precipitate in the matrix. Thereinto, as the molten salt temperature decreases from 650℃ to 520℃, the size of fine ?? phase in the alloy decrease gradually and the amount of carbides increase in the alloy. And the alloy quenched in molten salt at 520℃ possesses better creep resistance due to the fact that there are more granular carbides precipitating in the alloy to en- hance the grain strength. During creep, the deformation features of the alloy are that the configurations of stacking fault and slipping dislocations are activated in the alloy.
