Due to the specific conditions of manufacturing, processing and utilization of nickel base superalloys, the implementation of contemporary precision techniques is necessary in the research of the alloys features. Multi component nickel base superalloys, with about of 50% of nickel content, are commonly exploited in the conditions of high temperatures and pressures as well as in various aggressive operating environments. For successful quality control, which includes the monitoring of the changes in the alloy microstructure, fine scale structure investigations are necessary. In this work, the samples of nickel base superalloys have been exposed to 800 nm femtosecond laser in various operating regimes. Surface damages and dents caused by femtosecond laser pulses have been observed by optical and scanning microscopy.
