Abstract
An alloy suitable for making single crystal castings consists essentially of the following constituents by weight percent: ______________________________________ Chromium 8-15% Aluminum 5-7% Titanium 2-5% Niobium 0.1-2% Molybdenum 0-7% Tantalum 1-8% Tungsten 0-7% Cobalt 5-15% Vanadium 0.5-2% Carbon 0-0.05% Balance Nickel plus impurities. ______________________________________ The combined weight of Tungsten, Molybdenum and Tantalum is from 2.5 to 8.0 percent by weight of the total alloy weight and the combinations of Aluminium, Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum and Vanadium are balanced such as to give an alloy volume fraction of between 60 and 75% of gamma prime (Ni.sub.3 (M)) where M is Aluminium, Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum, Vanadium and also minimum gamma/gamma prime lattice mismatch. The alloy has good high strength characteristics, impact resistance, corrosion and oxidation resistance and has a wide heat treatment window.
