Abstract

The invention relates to gamma, gamma'-cobalt-based alloys for additive manufacturing methods or soldering, welding, powder and component. By using a cobalt-based alloy based on Co-7W-7 Al-23Ni-2Ti-2Ta-12Cr-0.0IB-0.IC-(0-0.1Si), an alloy that is especially well-suited for additive manufacturing methods or high-temperature soldering is proposed.

Claims (39)

1. A cobalt-based superalloy,

for additive manufacturing processes, soldering or welding,

which comprises in percent by weight:

7% of tungsten (W),

7% of aluminum (Al),

21%-23% of nickel (Ni),

2.5%-3% of titanium (Ti),

1%-3% of tantalum (Ta),

10%-14% of chromium (Cr),

0.010%-0.015% of boron (B), and

0.10%-0.15% of carbon (C).

2. A powder comprising the cobalt-based superalloy as claimed in claim 1 .

3. A component comprising at least the cobalt-based superalloy as claimed in claim 1 .

4. A process for heat treatment, in particular for the cobalt-based superalloy as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the alloy is subjected to at least a two-stage heat treatment:

solution heat treatment at 1573° K,

at the end optionally a heat treatment at 1073° K for boride precipitation.

6. The cobalt-based superalloy,

for additive manufacturing processes, soldering or welding, of claim 1

which comprises in percent by weight:

7% of tungsten (W),

7% of aluminum (Al),

23% of nickel (Ni),

2.5% of titanium (Ti),

2% of tantalum (Ta),

12% of chromium (Cr),

0.010% of boron (B), and

0.10% of carbon (C).

7. The cobalt-based superalloy,

for additive manufacturing processes, soldering or welding, of claim 1

which comprises in percent by weight:

0.05%-0.15% of silicon (Si).
