Abstract: A Co-based alloy exhibits superior high-temperature strength and resistance properties. In one embodiment, the Co-based alloy contains, in weight percent, from about 0.1 to about 1.2 of C; from about 0.01 to about 2 of at least one of Si and Mn; from about 22 to about 37 of Cr; from about 5 to about 15 of Ni; from about 0.1 to about 3.5 of Re; with a balance being Co and incidental impurities. Co and C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Re, B, Zr, W, Mo, Ta, and Nb impart high-temperature wear resistance to the alloy to withstand repeated temperature cycling in a glass spinnaret. In one embodiment of the present invention, Hf is added to improve molten glass corrosion resistance, while Y and other rare earth elements are added in alternate embodiments to improve high-temperature oxidation resistance. Percentages by weight are disclosed for enhanced high-temperature oxidation resistance, increased fluid wear resistance and enhanced molten glass corrosion resistance.
