Abstract: A process for preparing a Ni-based superalloy cast article includes (a) preparing an alloy charge composed of from 1.4 to 4.4 wt. % of Cr, from 3 to 8 wt. % of Co, from 5 to 7.5 wt. % of W, from 4.8 to 7.5 wt. % of Re, from 6 to 9 wt. % of Ta, from 4.8 to 6 wt. % of Al, from 0.1 to 0.5 wt. % of Nb, from 0.8 to 1.8 wt. % of Hf, from 0.05 to 0.1 wt. % of C, from 0.01 to 0.05 wt. % of Y, from 0.005 to 0.15 wt. % of B, and balance Ni, wherein the sum of W+Re is about 12 wt. %, the sum of Al+Ta+Hf+Nb ranges from 13.6 to 15.6 wt. %, and the sum of W+Re+Ta+Hf+Nb ranges from 20.2 to 22.8 wt.
