The heterogeneous microstructure of a laser 3D printed Ni-based superalloy was examined at multiple length scales. The sub-millimeter-sized columnar crystal grains are composed of micron-sized cellular colonies. The crystal grains grow in epitaxy with the substrate under the large temperature gradient and high cooling rate. The cell boundaries, decorated with γ/γ′ eutectics, μ-phase precipitates and high density of dislocations, show enrichment of γ′ forming elements and low-angle misorientations. Dislocations trapped in the intra-cellular regions are characterized as statistically stored dislocations with no detectable contribution to lattice curvature, and are the results of the interaction between dislocations and γ′ precipitates.
