Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0683239A1] A nickel superalloy is disclosed having superior resistance to oxidation under conditions such as those encountered in jet engines. The superalloy comprises 0.25 to 0.40 weight percent zirconium, 0.004 to 0.010 weight percent boron, 5.0 to 8.0 weight percent aluminum, 5.0-12.0 weight percent chromium, 0.75-2.0 weight percent hafnium, 0-10.0 weight percent cobolt, 0-12 weight percent tungsten, 0-12 weight percent molybdenum, 0-12 weight percent tantalum, 0-12 weight percent titanium, 0-2 weight percent niobium, 0.06-0.20 weight percent carbon and the balance nickel and inevitable impurities. Under burner rig oxidation conditions, this alloy can form a zirconium stabilized alumina barrier layer which greatly reduces the oxidation rate of the alloy. A method of making the superalloy and a method for casting the engine components made of the superalloy are also disclosed. <IMAGE>
