  • Publication number: 20110262299
    Abstract: Provided is an Ni-based single crystal superalloy wherein the ingredients have a composition containing, as ratio by mass, from 5.0% by mass to 7.0% by mass of Al, from 4.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Ta, from 0% by mass to 2.0% by mass of Mo, from 3.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of W, from 3.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Re, from 0% by mass to 0.50% by mass of Hf, from 3.0% by mass to 6.0% by mass of Cr, from 0% by mass to 9.9% by mass of Co, from 1.0% by mass to 14.0% by mass of Ru, and from 0.1% by mass to 4.0% by mass of Nb, with the balance of Ni and inevitable impurities. The alloy prevents TCP phase precipitation at high temperatures, therefore having improved strength at high temperatures and having oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Specifically, the invention is to provide a high-performance Ni-based single crystal superalloy having well balanced high-temperature strength and high-temperature oxidation resistance in practical use.
