Abstract

A composition of a nickel based alloy mixture which can be used for welding via especially liquid metal deposition or as a powder bed of an additive manufacturing method. A metallic powder mixture includes (in wt %): a cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) based super alloy with a content of 20% to 60%, a NiCoCrAlY-composition with a content of 70% to 30% and a metallic braze material with a content between 10% to 5%. The melting point of the braze material is at least 10K lower than the melting point of the nickel or cobalt based superalloy.
