abstract = {The crack susceptibility during processing has a crucial influence on the workability of wrought alloys. In particular, the processing of high-strength alloys that are prone to cracking is challenging and various process parameters have to be optimized to achieve a good formability. The polycrystalline CoNi-base superalloy CoWAlloy1 provides a high potential for high-temperature applications due to it having a large forging window, a high γ′ fraction and excellent creep properties. In order to study its formability during hot rolling, its deformation behavior and susceptibility to cracking were characterized by sub- and supersolvus compression tests at temperatures between 1000–1150 °C. At temperatures around the γ′ solvus temperature, no cracks formed during the compression testing, while at lower temperatures, cracking occurred. Additionally, an in-situ high-temperature small-angle neutron scattering revealed the phase fractions and the precipitate size distributions at different processing temperatures. It was found that a high fraction of γ′ forms during cooling and cracking starts at the surface of the bar, when the hot bar encounters the cold rolls during hot rolling. Apparently, the precipitation of γ′, which causes a high strength and reduced ductility, and the absent recrystallization leads to pronounced crack propagation and limited formability below the γ′ solvus temperature.},
