In the above-mentioned Ni-based single crystal super alloys, after performing solution treatment at a prescribed temperature, aging treatment is performed to obtain an Ni-based single crystal super alloy. This alloy is referred to as a so-called precipitation hardened alloy, and has a from in which the precipitation phase in the form of a γ′ phase is precipitated in a matrix in the form of a γ phase.

Among the alloys listed in Table 1, CMSX-2 (Canon-Muskegon, U.S. Pat. No. 4,582,548) is a first-generation alloy, CMSX-4 (Canon-Muskegon, U.S. Pat. No. 4,643,782) is a second-generation alloy, Rene′N6 (General Electric, U.S. Pat. No. 5,455,120) and CMSX-10K (Canon-Muskegon, U.S. Pat. No. 5,366,695) are third-generation alloys, and 3B (General Electric, U.S. Pat. No. 5,151,249) is a fourth-generation alloy.

Although the above-mentioned CMSX-2, which is a first-generation alloy, and CMSX-4, which is a second-generation alloy, have comparable creep strength at low temperatures, since a large amount of the eutectic γ′ phase remains following high-temperature solution treatment, their creep strength is inferior to third-generation alloys.

In addition, although the third-generation alloys of Rene′N6 and CMSX-10 are alloys designed to have improved creep strength at high temperatures in comparison with second-generation alloys, since the composite ratio of Re (5 wt % or more) exceeds the amount of Re that dissolves into the matrix (y phase), the excess Re compounds with other elements and as a result, a so-called TCP (topologically close packed) phase precipitates at high temperatures causing the an problem of decreased creep strength.

In addition, making the lattice constant of the precipitation phase (γ′ phase) slightly smaller than the lattice constant of the matrix (γ phase) is effective in improving the creep strength of Ni-based single crystal super alloys. However, since the lattice constant of each phase fluctuates greatly fluctuated according to the composite ratios of the composite elements of the alloy, it is difficult to make fine adjustments in the lattice constant and as a result, there is the problem of considerable difficulty in improving creep strength.

In consideration of the above circumstances, the object of the present invention is to provide a Ni-based single crystal super alloy that makes it possible to improve strength by preventing precipitation of the TCP phase at high temperatures.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The following constitution is employed in the present invention in order to achieve the above object.

The Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is characterized by having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-8.0 wt % Ta, 2.9-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.50 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru in terms of its weight ratio, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities.

In addition, the Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is characterized by having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-6.0 wt % Ta, 1.0-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.50 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co, and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru in terms of weight ratio, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities.

In addition, the Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is characterized by having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-6.0 wt % Ta, 2.9-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.50 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru in terms of weight ratio, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities.

According to the above Ni-based single crystal super alloy, precipitation of the TCP phase, which causes a decrease in creep strength, during use at high temperatures is inhibited by the addition of Ru. In addition, by setting the composite ratios of other composite elements within their optimum ranges, the lattice constant of the matrix (γ phase) and the lattice constant of the precipitation phase (γ′ phase) can be made to have optimum values. Consequently, strength at high temperatures can be enhanced.

In addition, the Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is characterized by having a composition consisting of 5.9 wt % Al, 5.9 wt % Ta, 2.9 wt % Mo, 5.9 wt % W, 4.9 wt % Re, 0.10 wt % Hf, 2.9 wt % Cr, 5.9 wt % Co and 2.0 wt % Ru in terms of weight ratio, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities, in the Ni-based single crystal super alloys previously described.

According to an Ni-based single crystal super alloy having this composition, the creep endurance temperature at 137 MPa and 1000 hours can be made to be 1356 K (1083° C.).

Moreover, the Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is characterized by a2≦0.999a1 when the lattice constant of the matrix is taken to be al and the lattice constant of the precipitation phase is taken to be a2 in the Ni-based single crystal super alloys previously described.

According to this Ni-based single crystal super alloy, the relationship between a1 and a2 is such that a2≦0.999a1 when the lattice constant of the matrix is taken to be al and the lattice constant of the precipitation phase is taken to be a2, and since the lattice constant a2 of the precipitation phase is −0.1% or less of the lattice constant al of the matrix, the precipitation phase that precipitates in the matrix precipitates so as to extend continuously in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the load. As a result, strength at high temperatures can be enhanced without dislocation defects moving within the alloy structure under stress.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following provides a detailed explanation for carrying out the present invention. [0020]
The Ni-based single crystal super alloy of the present invention is an alloy comprised of Al, Ta, Mo, W, Re, Hf, Cr, Co, Ru, Ni (remainder) and unavoidable impurities. [0021]
The above Ni-based single crystal super alloy is an alloy having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-8.0 wt % Ta, 2.9-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.5 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities. [0022]
In addition, the above Ni-based single crystal super alloy is an alloy having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-6.0 wt % Ta, 1.0-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.5 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities. [0023]
Moreover, the above Ni-based single crystal super alloy is an alloy having a composition consisting of 5.0-7.0 wt % Al, 4.0-6.0 wt % Ta, 2.9-4.5 wt % Mo, 4.0-8.0 wt % W, 3.0-6.0 wt % Re, 0.01-0.5 wt % Hf, 2.0-5.0 wt % Cr, 0.1-15.0 wt % Co and 1.0-4.0 wt % Ru, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidable impurities. [0024]
All of the above alloys have an austenite phase in the form of a γ phase (matrix) and an intermediate regular phase in the form of a γ′ phase (precipitation phase) that is dispersed and precipitated in the matrix. The γ′ phase is mainly composed of an intermetallic compound represented by Ni[0025] ₃A, and the strength of the Ni-based single crystal super alloy at high temperatures is improved by this γ′ phase.
Cr is an element that has superior oxidation resistance and improves the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the Ni-based single crystal super alloy. The composite ratio of Cr is preferably within the range of 2.0 wt % or more to 5.0 wt % or less, and more preferably 2.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Cr is less than 2.0 wt %, the desired high-temperature corrosion resistance cannot be secured, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Cr exceeds 5.0 wt %, in addition to precipitation of the γ′ phase being inhibited, harmful phases such as a C phase or μ phase form that cause a decrease in strength at high temperatures, thereby making this undesirable. [0026]
In addition to improving strength at high temperatures by dissolving into the matrix in the form of the γ phase in the presence of W and Ta, Mo also improves strength at high temperatures due to precipitation hardening. The composite ratio of Mo is preferably within the range of 1.0 wt % or more to 4.5 wt % or less, more preferably within the range of 2.9 wt % or more to 4.5 wt % or less, and most preferably 2.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Mo is less than 1.0 wt %, strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Mo exceeds 4.5 wt %, strength at high temperatures decreases, and corrosion resistance at high temperatures also decreases, thereby making this undesirable. [0027]
W improves strength at high temperatures due to the actions of solution hardening and precipitation hardening in the presence of Mo and Ta as previously mentioned. The composite ratio of W is preferably within the range of 4.0 wt % or more to 8.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 5.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of W is less than 4.0 wt %, strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of W exceeds 8.0 wt %, high-temperature corrosion resistance decreases, thereby making this undesirable. [0028]
Ta improves high-temperature strength due to the actions of solution hardening and precipitation hardening in the presence of Mo and W as previously mentioned, and also improves high-temperature strength as a result of a portion of the Ta undergoing precipitation hardening relative to the γ′ phase. The composite ratio of Ta is preferably within the range of 4.0 wt % or more to 8.0 wt % or less, more preferably within the range of 4.0 wt % or more to 6.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 5.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Ta is less than 4.0 wt %, strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Ta exceeds 8.0 wt %, the σ phase and μ phase form that cause a decrease in strength at high temperatures, thereby making this undesirable. [0029]
Al improves high-temperature strength by compounding with Ni to form an intermetallic compound represented by Ni[0030] ₃Al, which composes the γ′ phase that finely and uniformly disperses and precipitates in the matrix, at a ratio of 60-70% in terms of volume percent. The composite ratio of Al is preferably within the range of 5.0 wt % or more to 7.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 5.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Al is less than 5.0 wt %, the precipitated amount of the γ′ phase becomes insufficient, and strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Al exceeds 7.0 wt %, a large amount of a coarse γ phase referred to as the eutectic γ′ phase is formed, and this eutectic γ′ phase prevents solution treatment and makes it impossible to maintain strength at high temperatures at a high level, thereby making this undesirable.
Hf is an element that segregates at the grain boundary and improves high-temperature strength by strengthening the grain boundary as a result of being segregated at the grain boundary between the γ phase and γ′ phase. The composite ratio of Hf is preferably within the range of 0.01 wt % or more to 0.50 wt % or less, and most preferably 0.10 wt %. If the composite ratio of Hf is less than 0.01 wt %, the precipitated amount of the γ′ phase becomes insufficient and strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Hf exceeds 0.50 wt %, local melting is induced which results in the risk of decreased strength at high temperatures, thereby making this undesirable. [0031]
Co improves strength at high temperatures by increasing the solution limit at high temperatures relative to the matrix such as Al and Ta, and dispersing and precipitating a fine γ′ phase by heat treatment. The composite ratio of Co is preferably within the range of 0.1 wt % or more to 15.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 5.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Co is less than 0.1 wt %, the precipitated amount of the γ′ phase becomes insufficient and the strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Co exceeds 15.0 wt %, the balance with other elements such as AL, Ta, Mo, W, Hf and Cr is disturbed resulting in the precipitation of harmful phases that cause a decrease in strength at high temperatures, thereby making this undesirable. [0032]
Re improves high-temperature strength due to solution strengthening as a result of dissolving in the matrix in the form of the γ phase. On the other hand, if a large amount of Re is added, the harmful TCP phase precipitates at high temperatures, resulting in the risk of decreased strength at high temperatures. Thus, the composite ratio of Re is preferably within the range of 3.0 wt % or more to 6.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 4.9 wt %. If the composite ratio of Re is less than 3.0 wt %, solution strengthening of the γ phase becomes insufficient and strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at the desired level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Re exceeds 6.0 wt %, the TCP phase precipitates at high temperatures and strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at a high level, thereby making this undesirable. [0033]
Ru improves high-temperature strength by inhibiting precipitation of the TCP phase. The composite ratio of Ru is preferably within the range of 1.0 wt % or more to 4.0 wt % or less, and most preferably 2.0 wt %. If the composite ratio of Ru is less than 1.0 wt %, the TCP phase precipitates at high temperatures and strength at high temperatures cannot be maintained at a high level, thereby making this undesirable. If the composite ratio of Ru exceeds 4.0 wt %, the cost increases which is also undesirable. [0034]
Particularly in the present invention, by adjusting the composite ratios of Al, Ta, Mo, W, Hf, Cr, Co and Ni to the optimum ratios, together with improving strength at high temperatures by setting the lattice constant of the γ phase and the lattice constant of the γ′ phase within their optimum ranges, and precipitation of the TCP phase can be inhibited by adding Ru. [0035]
In addition, in usage environments at a high temperature from 1273 K (1000° C.) to 1373K (1100° C.), when the lattice constant of the crystals that compose the matrix in the form of the γ phase is taken to be a1, and the lattice constant of the crystals that compose the precipitation phase in the form of the γ′ phase is taken to be a2, then the relationship between a1 and a2 is preferably such that a2≦0.999a1. Namely, lattice constant a2 of the crystals of the precipitation phase is preferably −0.1% or less lattice constant al of the crystals of the matrix. [0036]
In addition, lattice constant a2 of the crystals of the precipitation phase should be −0.5% or more of lattice constant al of the crystals of the matrix. In the case both of the lattice constants are in the above relationship, since the precipitation phase precipitates so as to extend continuously in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the load when the precipitation phase precipitates in the matrix due to heat treatment, creep strength can be enhanced without movement of dislocation defects in the alloy structure in the presence of stress. [0037]
In order to make the relationship between lattice constant a1 and lattice constant a2 such that a2≦0.999a1, the composition of the composite elements that compose the Ni-based single crystal super alloy is suitably adjusted. [0038]
According to the above Ni-based super crystal super alloy, precipitation of the TCP phase, which causes decreased creep strength, during use at high temperatures is inhibited by addition of Ru. In addition, by setting the composite ratios of other composite elements to their optimum ranges, the lattice constant of the matrix (y phase) and the lattice constant of the precipitation phase (γ′ phase) can be made to have optimum values. As a result, creep strength at high temperatures can be improved. [0039]
Embodiments [0040]
The effect of the present invention is shown using following embodiments. [0041]

Next, solution treatment and aging treatment were performed on the alloy ingots followed by observation of the state of the alloy structure with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Solution treatment consisted of holding for 1 hour at 1573K (1300° C.) followed by heating to 1613K (1340° C.) and holding for 5 hours. In addition, aging treatment consisted of consecutively performing primary aging treatment consisting of holding for 4 hours at 1150° C. and secondary aging treatment consisting of holding for 20 hours at 870° C. [0043]
As a result, a TCP phase was unable to be confirmed in the structure. [0044]

Next, a creep test was performed on a sample of the present embodiment (TMS-138) that underwent solution treatment and aging treatment. The creep test consisted of measuring the time until the sample demonstrated creep rupture as the sample life under each of the temperature and stress conditions shown in Table 3.

As is clear from Table 3, the sample of the present embodiment was determined to have high strength even under high temperature conditions of 1273K (1000° C.). [0046]

In addition, the creep rupture characteristics (withstand temperature) were compared for the alloys of the prior art shown in Table 1 (Comparative Examples 1 through 5) and the sample of the present embodiment shown in Table 2 (TMS-138). Creep rupture characteristics were determined either as a result of measuring the temperature until the sample ruptured under conditions of applying stress of 137 MPa for 1000 hours, or converting the rupture temperature of the sample under those conditions.

As is clear from Table 4, the sample of the present embodiment was determined to have a high withstand temperature (1356K (1083° C.)) equal to or greater than Comparative Examples 1 through 5. [0048]
Thus, this alloy has a higher heat resistance temperature than Ni-based single crystal super alloys of the prior art and was determined to have high strength even at high temperatures. [0049]
Furthermore, the fatigue strength were compared for the alloys of the Comparative Example 2 shown in Table 1 (CMSX4) and the sample of the present embodiment shown in Table 2 (TMS-138). In this case, the high cycle fatigue strength (HCF) and the low cycle fatigue strength (LCF) were measured as the fatigue strength. For measuring the high cycle fatigue strength, the max stress at high temperature of 1373K (1100° C.) were measured by controlling a load, and the number of fatigue fracture cycle (Nf) were determined as 10[0050] ⁶and 10⁷. For measuring the low cycle fatigue strength, the alternative pseudo stress at high temperature of 1073K (800° C.) were measured by controlling the distortion, and the number of fatigue fracture cycle (ND) were determined as 10³and 10⁴.
