Abstract: A nickel-base superalloy containing 14 to 22% chromium, 5 to 25% cobalt, 1 to 5% tungsten, 0.5 to 3% tantalum, 2 to 5% titanium, 1 to 4.5% aluminum, the sum of the titanium plus aluminum being 4.5 to 9%, up to 2% niobium, about 0.35 to 1.2% boron, up to 3.5% molybdenum, up to 0.5% zirconium, up to 0.2% total of yttrium and lanthanum, up to 0.1% carbon, at least 0.05% of at least one element of the group of hafnium and vanadium with the maximum being about 2.2% hafnium and 2% vanadium, the balance of the alloy being essentially nickel.

Abstract: Nickel-base superalloys suitable for the production of cast parts for use at elevated temperatures in corrosive atmospheres contain in weight percent about 14% to 22% chromium, 5% to 25% cobalt, 1% to 5% tungsten, 0.5% to 3% tantalum, 2% to 5% titanium, 1% to 4.5% aluminum, the sum of the titanium plus aluminium being 4.5 to 9% up to 2% niobium, 0.31% to 1.2% boron, up to 3.5% molybdenum, up to 0.5% zirconium, up to 0.2% in total of yttrium or lanthanum or both, up to 0.1% carbon, the balance apart from impurities being nickel. Advantageously the alloys are controlled such that%Ti+%Al+%Nb+0.5(%Ta)+0.2(%Cr)=11.2 to 12.4.
