ABSTRACT:
A single crystal nickel base superalloy component, such as a gas turbine blade (20, 28) is mechanically deformed at elevated temperature to improve the yield strength of a portion which is used at temperatures below 800.degree. C., compared to a portion which is used at a higher temperature. A blade (20) has a root (22) which is deformed by 2-14% at 700.degree.-1100.degree. C. and an airfoil (24) which is not deformed. The root yield strength is increased 15-50% while the airfoil creep strength is maintained.
