Abstract
A nickel base superalloy consisting of 20 to 40 wt % cobalt, 10 to 15 wt % chromium, 3 to 6 wt % molybdenum, 0 to 5 wt % tungsten, 2.5 to 4 wt % aluminium, 3.4 to 5 wt % titanium, 1.35 to 2.5 wt % tantalum, 0 to 2 wt % niobium, 0.5 to 1 wt % hafnium, 0 to 0.1 wt % zirconium, 0.01 to 0.05 wt % carbon, 0.01 to 0.05 wt % boron, 0 to 2 wt % silicon and the balance nickel plus incidental impurities. The gamma prime phase comprises (Ni/Co)3 (Al/Ti/Ta).
