Rare earth modified corrosion resistant superalloy with enhanced oxidation resistance and coating compatibility
The invention concerns a Ni based alloy suitable for single 5 crystalline, directionally solidified or polycrystalline components to be used at high temperatures. The alloy is a′/ alloy and consists of different alloying elements within defined ranges. Among other defined ranges of elements, the alloy contains Pd in a significant amount sufficient to provide the alloy with an improved resistance against hydrogen embrittlement. The invention also concerns a component designed for use as a component in a high temperature environment. Furthermore, the invention concerns a gas turbine arrangement. Moreover, the invention concerns the use of Pd for providing an alloy with improved resistance against hydrogen embrittlement. The inclusion of two or more rare earth elements in the alloy provides enhanced bondcoat compatibility.
