Abstract: A material for components of a gas turbine, in particular a jet aircraft engine, is disclosed. The material contains an amount of a ferritic phase with Fe and Al and an amount of at least one Laves phase, where the amount of the at least one Laves phase constitutes the largest amount of the material.

Abstract: The presently described technology relates to a material for components of a gas turbine, in particular for components of a gas turbine aircraft engine, having a matrix of an iron-based alloy material, wherein the matrix of the iron-based alloy material being hardened by means of an intermetallic material of the Laves phase.

Abstract: An intermetallic nickel-aluminum base alloy has a microstructure which predominantly includes the binary phase NiAl and further contains the elements chromium and tantalum. The content of the elements chromium and tantalum is in total at most 12 atom %. Preferred contents ranges are 0.3 to 3.8 atom % tantalum and 1.0 to 9.0 atom % chromium. The intermetallic nickel-aluminum base alloy is distinguished in particular by high oxidation resistance at high temperatures, such as for example 1350.degree. C. It is therefore suitable for producing components which are exposed to a high long term temperature stress such as, for example, gas turbine blades. Depending on requirements, additional layers protecting against oxidation can be dispensed with due to the high oxidation resistance.
