Description

  • This application claims benefit of the 10 Aug. 2007 filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/955,092.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates in general to the field of nickel base superalloys possessing improved oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, castability, and mechanical properties such as creep resistance and thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance. The present invention relates to alloys that may be cast as a single crystal or directionally solidified.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Nickel base superalloys are alloys composed primarily of nickel with the addition of several other elements selected for their ability to survive an overall high temperature, high stress, and highly oxidative environment. Typically, this environment is that of a gas turbine engine.
  • The greatest difficulty encountered with the gas turbine environment is that the goals of creep resistance, thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance are at odds with each other. Alloys with greater creep resistance typically sacrifice hot corrosion resistance and thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance. Alloys with greater hot corrosion resistance come at the expense of poor creep resistance and thermo-mechanical fatigue resistance.
