Gas turbine components are subjected to high mechanical and thermal stresses. In addition, the environment in which they operate is often corrosive. Under these conditions, only one group of materials can be used, i.e., superalloys. Superalloys are alloys of nickel or cobalt that are strengthened by both a large number and volume of alloying elements: tantalum, titanium, tungsten and chromium for carbide precipitation for high temperature strength. Aluminum and titanium form an intermetallic precipitation phase that can highly increase creep resistance. Boron and zirconium increase the grain boundary strength. Characteristic properties of superalloys are: high tensile strength, high creep strength, fair ductility, and good corrosion resistance. This combination of properties, which exists also at high temperature, is unique for superalloys and, in consequence, gas turbine hot-section components are uniquely made of superalloys.
