NICKEL-BASE SUPERALLOYS ESPECIALLY USEFUL AS COMPATIBLE PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL COATINGS FOR ADVANCED SUPERALLOYS

摘要

There is provided by the present invention an alloy which is mechanically and chemically compatible with advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys and which possesses excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation. The alloy of the invention is, therefore, particularly useful as a protective environmental coating for the external surfaces of hot-stage aircraft gas turbine engine components, e.g., rotating blades and stationary vanes, made from such advanced superalloys.
