  • Patent number: 9932655
    Abstract: A Ni-based alloy includes, as a chemical composition, C, Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, Co, Al, Ti, B, P, S, and a balance consisting of Ni and impurities. The average grain size d is 10 ?m to 300 ?m, when the average grain size d is an average grain size in unit of ?m of a ? phase included in a metallographic structure of the Ni-based alloy. Precipitates with a major axis of 100 nm or more are absent in the metallographic structure. An area fraction ? is f2 or more, when the area fraction ? and the f2 are expressed by using the average grain size d and amounts in mass % of each element in the chemical composition.
