Abstract
This invention relates to a nickel-cobalt alloy comprising the following elements in percent by weight: ______________________________________ Carbon about 0-0.05 Molybdenum about 6-11 Iron about 0-1 Titanium about 0-6 Chromium about 15-23 Boron about 0.005-0.020 Columbium about 1.1-10 Aluminum about 0.4-4.0 Cobalt about 30-60 Nickel balance ______________________________________ the alloy having an electron vacancy number, N.sub.v, defined by N.sub.v =0.61 Ni+1.71 Co+2.66 Fe+4.66 Cr+5.66 Mo wherein the respective chemical symbols represent the effective atomic fractions of the respective elements present in the alloy, the value not exceeding the value N.sub.v =2.82-0.017 W.sub.Fe, wherein W.sub.Fe is the percent by weight of iron in the alloy. In one aspect, the alloy of the present invention is preferably finally cold worked at ambient temperature to a reduction in cross-section of at least 5% and up to about 40%, although higher levels of cold work may be used with some loss of thermomechanical properties. However, it may be cold worked at any temperature below the HCP-FCC transformation zone. After cold working, the alloys are preferably aged at a temperature between about 800.…
