Abstract

This invention relates to a heat resistant single-crystal nickel-base super alloy that possesses microstructural stability and excellent creep rupture strength and oxidation resistance. This alloy is composed of 4-9% chromium, 4-6.5% aluminum, 5-8.5% wolfram, 5-8.5% tantalum, 3-6% molybdenum, 0.01-0.30% hafnium, 0.02-4% cobalt by weight, and the balance of nickel and incidental elements and meets the conditional expression wolfram+tantalum<16%. The preferable chemcial composition of this alloy is approximately 6.4% chromium, approximately 5.1% aluminum, approximately 7.3% wolfram, 7.3% tantalum, approximately 4.3% molybdenum, approximately 0.1% hafnium, approximately 1% cobalt by weight, and the balance of nickel and incidental elements.
