Abstract

A nickel-base superalloy, in particular for the production of single-crystal components or directionally solidified components, comprising (measured in % by weight): 3.0-13.0% Cr, 5.0-15.0% Co, 0-3.0% Mo, 3.5-9.5% W, 3.2-6.0% Al, 0-3.0% Ti, 2.0-10.0% Ta, 0-6.0% Re, 0.002-0.08% C, 0-0.04% B, 0-1.4% Hf, 0-0.005% Zr, 10-60 ppm N, remainder nickel plus impurities. As a result of the addition of nitrogen in defined quantities, TiN is formed during solidification and carbides with a block morphology are formed. It is thus possible to increase the carbon content without deterioration in the low cycle fatigue at high load temperature.
