An increase of dislocation loop density would lead to the increase of the hardness in C-276 alloy, and the increment in yield strength was estimated by the dispersed barrier-hardening model. In [110] orientation, Burgers vectors of the dislocation loops were determined, and it was found that they were predominantly （a/2）〈110〉.
