Abstract

A Ni-based superalloy contains 13.1 to 16.0 percent by mass of Cr, 1.0 to 6.8 percent by mass of Co, 3.0 to 3.4 percent by mass of Al, 4.6 to 5.6 percent by mass of Ti, 2.0 to 4.4 percent by mass of Ta, 3.5 to 4.9 percent by mass of W, 0.1 to 0.9 percent by mass of Mo, 0.3 to 1.4 percent by mass of Nb, 0.05 to 0.20 percent by mass of C, and 0.01 to 0.03 percent by mass of B with the remainder being nickel and inevitable impurities. The superalloy excels in corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, has high strength, and is used in parts of a gas turbine to be used at high temperature. The resulting gas turbine excels in durability.

Claims (9)

1. A casting that is a conventional casting formed of a Ni-based conventional casting superalloy comprising: 13.1 to 16.0 percent by mass of Cr, 1.0 to 6.8 percent by mass of Co, 3.0 to 3.4 percent by mass of Al, more than 5.0 to 5.6 percent by mass of Ti, 2.0 to 4.4 percent by mass of Ta, 3.5 to 4.9 percent by mass of W, 0.1 to 0.9 percent by mass of Mo, 0.3 to 1.4 percent by mass of Nb, 0.05 to 0.20 percent by mass of C, and 0.014 to 0.02 percent by mass B, with the remainder being Ni and inevitable impurities, the conventional casting containing equiaxis grains.

2. A casting that is a conventional casting formed of a Ni-based conventional casting superalloy comprising: Cr, Co, Al, Ti, Ta, W, Mo, Nb, C, and B; and at least one selected from the group consisting of Hf, Re, Zr, O and N with the remainder being nickel (Ni) and inevitable impurities,

having an alloy composition including 13.1 to 16.0 percent by mass of Cr, 1.0 to 6.8 percent by mass of Co, 3.0 to 3.4 percent by mass of Al, more than 5.0 to 5.6 percent by mass of Ti, 2.0 to 4.4 percent by mass of Ta, 3.5 to 4.9 percent by mass of W, 0.1 to 0.9 percent by mass of Mo, 0.3 to 1.4 percent by mass of Nb, 0.05 to 0.20 percent by mass of C, 0.014 to 0.02 percent by mass of B, 0 to 2.0 percent by mass of Hf, 0 to 0.5 percent by mass of Re, 0 to 0.05 percent by mass of Zr, 0 to 0.005 percent by mass of O, and 0 to 0.005 percent by mass of N, the conventional casting containing equiaxis grains.

3. The casting according to one of claims 1 and 2 , wherein the alloy includes 13.6 to 15.5 percent by mass of Cr, 4.0 to 6.8 percent by mass of Co, 3.0 to 3.35 percent by mass of Al, more than 5.0 to 5.4 percent by mass of Ti, 2.5 to 4.0 percent by mass of Ta, 4.0 to 4.9 percent by mass of W, 0.5 to 0.9 percent by mass of Mo, 0.3 to 1.2 percent by mass of Nb, 0.10 to 0.18 percent by mass of C, and 0.014 to 0.02 percent by mass of B.

4. The casting according to claim 3 , wherein the alloy includes 13.6 to 14.5 percent by mass of Cr, 5.0 to 6.5 percent by mass of Co, 3.1 to 3.3 percent by mass of Al, more than 5.0 to 5.2 percent by mass of Ti, 3.0 to 4.0 percent by mass of Ta, 4.4 to 4.8 percent by mass of W, 0.6 to 0.8 percent by mass of Mo, 0.4 to 0.8 percent by mass of Nb, 0.12 to 0.16 percent by mass of C, and 0.014 to 0.02 percent by mass of B.

5. The casting according to claim 2 , wherein the alloy including 0 to 0.1 percent by mass of Hf, 0 to 0.1 percent by mass of Re, 0 to 0.03 percent by mass of Zr, 0 to 0.005 percent by mass of O, and 0 to 0.005 percent by mass of N.

6. A blade for a land based gas turbine comprising the casting of any one of claims 1 , 2 and 5 .

7. A blade for a land based gas turbine comprising the casting of claim 3 .

8. A blade for a land based gas turbine comprising the casting of claim 4 .
