  • Patent number: 4721540
    Abstract: A single crystal nickel alloy is provided having many of the foundry and performance characteristics of the higher density, single crystal, nickel base super alloys from which the vanes and blades are cast for high performance turbine aircraft engines. The lower density of this alloy permits its use for rebuilding and upgrading the performance of older turbine aircraft engines of designs which cannot withstand the centrifugal forces generated by the new state of the art higher density single crystal super alloys. The alloy for the first time provides a lower density single crystal alloy capable of heat treatment to stabilize its microstructure for high temperature, high stress use. It also provides for the first time a lower density alloy having acceptable resistance to the effects of high temperature sulfidation, salt corrosion and also to have good coating life.
