Adding silicon, in a defined range of weight percentage, to the composition of a known nickel-based alloy improves oxidation, hot corrosion and dwell crack growth resistance without the detrimental effects on the thermal stability of the microstructure and on other material properties that have been found with known alloys. In a particular preferred embodiment the alloy has the following composition (in weight percent): chromium 14.6-15.4%; cobalt 18-19%; molybdenum 4.75-5.25%; aluminium 2.8-3.2 titanium 3.4-3.8%; tantalum 1.8-2.2%; hafnium 0.4-0.6%; carbon 0.020-0.034%; boron 0.005-0.025%; silicon 0.2-0.6%; the remainder being nickel and incidental impurities.
