ABSTRACT:
A cobalt-base alloy particularly for the cast parts of gas engines which operate at high temperatures, such as stationary blades of turbines, vanes of large cross-sectional and the like. The alloy has the minimum practicable of zirconium so that detrimental inter-dendritic carbide oxidation is suppressed. The surface of castings of this alloy readily lend themselves to coating with oxidation and sulfidation resistant coatings. In addition, the carbide oxidation attack of the crucible in which the alloy is melted or molded is minimized so that the economy of producing castings is materially improved. Also, improved is the internal structure of the investment castings produced in normal shop practice; i.e., equiaxed grain size, as distinct from columnar grain size, is produced and this results in an increase in the integrity of cast properties in large castings. The creep resistance of the alloy is further improved by including a small but effective quantity of aluminum in the composition cooling conditions for the casting of this alloy are less critical than for prior art alloys; finer dentrite arm spacings can be obtained under normal current casting shop processes.
