Such nickel base superalloy typically exhibits a Pha Comp (Nv) value of about 2.20.
- The nickel base superalloys pursuant to the invention will be production-castable from the standpoint that it can be cast into complex single crystal shapes including solid and/or hollow components, such as single crystal gas turbine engine airfoils including blades and vanes. The castings will be generally free from casting scale that is formed on single crystal castings made from low carbon single crystal nickel base superalloys.
- Single crystal test bars for mechanical property testing were cast using a superalloy pursuant to an embodiment of the invention having the nominal composition, in weight %, 13.3% Cr, 9.1% Co, 4.83% Ti, 3.06% Al, 2.99% W, 1.49% Mo, 2.97% Ta, 2.98% Re, 0.087% C, 0.012% B, 0.0012% Nb, 0.0007% Hf, 0.0001% Zr, and balance Ni and incidental impurities (designated invention alloy A).

- The single crystal test bars were made by casting the above-described invention alloys A and B at a temperature of alloy melting point plus 350-400 degrees F. into a shell mold preheated to 2750-2850 degrees F. The superalloy test bars were solidified as single crystal test bars using the conventional directional solidification withdrawal technique and a pigtail crystal selector in the shell molds. Directional solidification processes for making single crystal castings are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,700,023; 3,763,926; and 4,190,094. The solidified as-cast test bars of both invention alloys A and B were subjected to a primary aging heat treatment at 2050 degrees F. for 2 hours, gas fan cooled at greater than 75 degrees F./minute to a final aging heat treatment at 1550 degrees F. for 16 hours and then gas fan cooled at greater than 25 degrees F./minute to room temperature for mechanical property testing.
- Similar single crystal comparison test bars were made from a known comparison CompSX nickel base superalloy, PWA 1484 nickel base superalloy, N5 nickel base superalloy, and CMSX-4 nickel base superalloy also using the conventional directional solidification withdrawal technique. These nickel base superalloys are in commercial use in the manufacture of single crystal airfoil castings for use in gas turbine engines. The CompSX nickel base superalloy is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,416,596; the PWA 1484 nickel base superalloy is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,719,080; the N5 nickel base superalloy is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,074,602; and the CMSX-4 nickel base superalloy is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,643,782. The CMSX-4 nickel base superalloy limits carbon to a maximum of 60 ppm by weight. The CompSX nickel base superalloy used in the mechanical property testing had a nominal composition, in weight %, 13.9% Cr, 9.4% Co, 4.9% Ti, 3.0% Al, 3.85% W, 1.58% Mo, 2.94% Ta, 0.09% C, 0.012% B, less than 50 ppm by weight Zr, LAP Nb, LAP Hf, and balance Ni and incidental impurities wherein LAP is low as possible impurity level. The CompSX test bars were single crystal cast and heat treated in the same manner as the invention alloy A and B test bars.
- The test bars were tested at different elevated temperatures for stress rupture resistance using test procedure ASTM E139 and tensile tested at room temperature and elevated temperatures for ultimate tensile strength (UTS), 0.2% yield strength, percent elongation, and reduction in area using ASTM test procedure ASTM E8 for room temperature tests and ASTM E21 for elevated temperatures.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , comparison of the Larson-Miller parameters for the invention alloy A and B test bars pursuant to the invention and the comparison CompSX, PWA 1484, N5, and CMSX-4 nickel base superalloys is shown. The Larson-Miller parameter, P, is used to compare stress rupture characteristics of the nickel base superalloys shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . The Larson-Miller parameter is a time-temperature dependent parameter, P=T(° K.)(20+log t)1000 where T is test temperature and t is time to rupture, widely used to extraplote stress rupture data as described in MECHANICAL METALLURGY, section 3-13, pages 483-486, Copyright 1961, 1976 by McGraw-Hill, Inc.FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 reveal that the invention alloy A pursuant to the invention is an improvement over the CompSX test bars with either a single crystal or equiaxed grain structure.FIG. 1 also includes several commercially available third generation single crystal superalloy data points as a reference. It is important to point out the data provided on the superalloy systems including PWA 1484, N5, and CMSX-4, represent a fully solutioned microstructure obtained by heat treatments that have been optimized over time to enhance the mechanical properties of those superalloys. -
FIG. 3 is a bar graph comparing the stress rupture lives for the invention alloys A and B pursuant to the invention and the comparison CompSX nickel base superalloy. It is apparent that the invention alloy A pursuant to the invention exhibited a dramatic increase in stress rupture life compared to the comparison CompSX nickel base superalloy under all testing conditions shown inFIG. 3 . - Referring to
FIGS. 4, 5 , 6, and 7, the tensile testing data is shown for the invention alloy A pursuant to the invention and the comparison CompSX, PWA 1484, N5, and CMSX-4 nickel base superalloys. It is apparent that the invention alloy A pursuant to the invention is comparable to the comparison nickel base superalloys in tensile strength (e.g. ultimate tensile strength-UTS and 0.2% yield stress-0.2% YS), elongation, and reduction of area over the temperatures tested (e.g. room temperature to 1100° C.). - The nickel base superalloys pursuant to the invention exhibited reduced casting scale and reduced non-metallic inclusions as a result of the inclusion of the carbon concentrations of 0.087 weight %. For example, the invention alloy A and B investment cast test bars pursuant to the invention had reduced casting scale and reduced non-metallic inclusion levels as compared to the CMSX-4 nickel base superalloy and exhibited improved castability from the standpoint that vacuum investment cast test bars pursuant to the invention exhibited less exterior scale as compared to vacuum investment cast test bars of the comparison CMSX-4 nickel base superalloy.
- Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to detailed embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail thereof may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention.
