Abstract

Provided are a Ni-based heat resistant superalloy for aircraft engine cases excellent in high-temperature characteristic such as tensile characteristics and low-cycle fatigue characteristics in a high-temperature range and also excellent in workability, and an aircraft engine case formed of the same. The Ni-based heat resistant superalloy has composition containing, by mass, Co: 4.0 to 11.0%, Cr: 12.0 to 17.0%, Al: 2.0 to 4.0%, Ti: 2.0 to 4.0%, Al+Ti: 4.6 to 6.7%, Mo: more than 5.5 to 10.0%, W: more than 0 to 4.0%, B: 0.001 to 0.040%, C: 0.02 to 0.06%, Zr: 0 to 0.05%, Mg: 0 to 0.005%, P: 0 to 0.01%, Nb: 0 to 1.0%, Ta: 0 to 1.0%, and Fe: 0 to 2.0%, and the balance of Ni with inevitable impurities, and is suitable for aircraft engine cases.
