Superalloy optimized for high-temperature performance in high-pressure turbine disks

This invention relates to nickel-base superalloys and, more particularly, to such a superalloy optimized for use in high-temperature components of jet engines such as turbine disks. A superalloy has a composition of, in weight percent, from about 16.0 percent to about 22.4 percent cobalt, from about 6.6 percent to about 14.3 percent chromium, from about 1.4 percent to about 3.5 percent tantalum, from about 1.9 percent to about 4.0 percent tungsten, from about 1.9 percent to about 3.9 percent molybdenum, from about 0.03 percent to about 0.10 percent zirconium, from about 0.9 percent to about 3.0 percent niobium, from about 2.4 percent to about 4.6 percent titanium, from about 2.6 percent to about 4.8 percent aluminum, from 0 to about 2.5 percent rhenium, from about 0.02 percent to about 0.10 percent carbon, from about 0.02 percent to about 0.10 percent boron, balance nickel and minor amounts of impurities. The superalloy is advantageously utilized in aircraft gas turbine disks.
