High-temperature fabricable nickel-iron aluminides

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7021699
Nickel-iron aluminides are described that are based on Ni[sub 3]Al, and have significant iron content, to which additions of hafnium, boron, carbon and cerium are made resulting in Ni[sub 3]Al base alloys that can be fabricated at higher temperatures than similar alloys previously developed. Further addition of molybdenum improves oxidation and cracking resistance. These alloys possess the advantages of ductility, hot fabricability, strength, and oxidation resistance.
