    Abstract: A method for preparing an improved article including a nickel-based superalloy is presented. The method includes heat-treating a workpiece including a nickel-based superalloy at a temperature above the gamma-prime solvus temperature of the nickel-based superalloy and cooling the heat-treated workpiece with a cooling rate less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit/minute from the temperature above the gamma-prime solvus temperature of the nickel-based superalloy so as to obtain a cooled workpiece. The cooled workpiece includes a coprecipitate of a gamma-prime phase and a gamma-double-prime phase, wherein the gamma-prime phase of the coprecipitate has an average particle size less than 250 nanometers. An article having a minimum dimension greater than 6 inches is also presented. The article includes a material having a coprecipitate of a gamma-prime phase and a gamma-double-prime phase, wherein the gamma-prime phase of the coprecipitate has an average particle size less than 250 nanometers.

    Abstract: Articles suitable for use in high temperature applications, such as turbomachinery components, and methods for making such articles, are provided. One embodiment is an article. The article comprises a material comprising a plurality of L12-structured gamma-prime phase precipitates distributed within a matrix phase at a concentration of at least 20% by volume, wherein the gamma-prime phase precipitates are less than 1 micrometer in size, and a plurality of A3-structured eta phase precipitates distributed within the matrix phase at a concentration in the range from about 1% to about 25% by volume. The solvus temperature of the eta phase is higher than the solvus temperature of the gamma-prime phase. Moreover, the material has a median grain size less than 10 micrometers.
