Definitions

  • preferred alloys of the invention are those in which one or more elements are maintained within the following ranges: 0.03% to 0.2% carbon; to 13% chromium; up to 12% tungsten; up
  • Further classes of preferred alloys of the invention are of chromium, aluminum, titanium, hafnium, yttrium, those f any of the above groups containing up to molybdenum, tungsten, carbon, etc., offers enhanced stress molybdenum and f to tungsten and those rupture strength over the intermediate temperature range containing f o to 7% molybdenum and up to 5% of 600 C.900 C. while retaining a satisfactory level of 20 tungsten. ductility.
  • the alloys in accordance herewith should normally be produced by As is generally recognised in the art, Over the past vacuum melting, for example, in a vacuum induction years considerable emphasis has been given to the develfurnace, followed by addition of the hafnium and yttrium opment of the so-termed superalloys, notably those of the 5 (or lanthanum) and casting, either under vacuum or unnickel-base precipitation hardenable type, capable of der an inert atmosphere. In striving for optimum charmeeting the stringent requirements demanded by various acteristics, the alloys can be subjected to vacuum refining commercial applications.
  • the gas turbine engine particularly example by vigorously agitating the molten alloy in a such components as stator and rotor blades intended to vacuum induction furnace for an extended period of operate over the intermediate temperature range of time, e.g. from 15 to 60 minutes at a temperature of 1400 600 C.900 C. as well as at higher levels.
  • a preferred vacuum refining operation is effected in a sideration herein, but the subject invention is addressed vacuum induction furnace for about 30 minutes under a principally to the task of also effecting over the 600 C.- pressure of about 1 micron with the crucible set wholly 900 C.
  • alloys contemplated herein contain (by in stress-rupture strength, although over generally the weight) up to 20%, e.g., 2% to 20%, chromium; from whole of the above-defined base composition range marked 3% to 8% aluminum, up to 8% titanium, the sum of the improvement is also obtained in the intermediate temperaluminum plus titanium being from 4% to 12%; from a llre tens e ductility.
  • yttrium up to 20% cobalt; up to 20% tungsten; up to 3% iron; and hafnium were incorporated, separately and together up to 8% molybdenum; up to 9% tantalum; up to 4% into two alloys of the following compositions:

Most advantageously, the perat a pressure of 100 mm. of mercury and each of the recentages of hafnium and yttrium are from 0.3% to 1.5 sulting melts was cast into a preheated refractory mould and from 0.008% to 0.08%, respectively. The yttrium can, if desired, be partly or wholly replaced by a similar amount of lanthanum.
  • test piece blanks A blank melt with no addition was similarly cast to provide a reference sample.
  • Suitable test bars were machined from the tapered test blanks and were subjected to short-time tensile tests and given by way of example in the following Table II in percent by weight.
  • a further advantage of the co-presence of yttrium with hafnium is that it refines the grains of the castings. This is advantageous when making castings of heavy section, e.g. 2.5 cm. or more, and particularly in the case of castings having both thin and thick sections such as automobile gas turbine rotors with integrally cast blades. In such castings a fine grain structure can thus be obtained in the heavy centre section as well as the thin blade sections.
