Abstract

A gas-turbine moving blade made of a Ni-base superalloy containing less grain boundary strengthening elements, in which a blade portion is formed of a single crystal and the rest is formed of columnar crystals, and a gas turbine including the moving blade. A thermal efficiency of the gas turbine can be improved to 35% or more, and a thermal efficiency of complex power generation with a steam turbine can be improved to 45% or more.
