Abstract

A new nickel base superalloy suitable for compressor or turbine discs of gas turbine engines with fatigue crack propagation resistance equal to Waspaloy, tensile strength higher than Waspaloy and higher operating temperature than Waspaloy or UDIMET 720 family of alloys. The nickel base superalloy has a preferred composition by weight % of 14.0-19.0% cobalt, 14.35-15.15 Chromium, 4.25-5.25 Molybdenum, 1.35-2.15 tantalum, 3.45-4.15 titanium, 2.85-3.15 aluminium, 0.01-0.025 boron, 0.012-0.033 carbon, 0.05-0.07 zirconium, 0.5-1.0 hafnium, up to 1.0 rhenium, up to 2.0 tungsten, less than 0.5 niobium, up to 0.1 yttrium, up to 0.1 vanadium, up to 1.0 iron, up to 0.2 silicon, up to 0.15 manganese and balance nickel plus incidental impurities.
