Abstract

This invention relates to a single crystal casting to be used under high stress, high temperature conditions up to about 2030.degree. F., characterized by an increased resistance to creep under such conditions. The casting is made from a nickel-based superalloy consisting essentially of the following elements in percent by weight: from 6.2 to 6.8 percent rhenium, from 1.8 to 2.5 percent chromium, from 1.5 to 2.5 percent cobalt, from 8 to 9 percent tantalum, from 3.5 to 6 percent tungsten, from 5.5 to 6.1 percent aluminum, from 0.1 to 0.5 percent titanium, from 0.01 to 0.1 percent columbium, from 0.25 to 0.60 percent molybdenum, from 0 to 0.05 percent hafnium, from 0 to 0.04 percent carbon, from 0 to 0.01 percent boron, from 0 to 0.01 percent yttrium, from 0 to 0.01 percent cerium, from 0 to 0.01 percent lanthanum, from 0 to 0.04 percent manganese, from 0 to 0.05 percent silicon, form 0 to 0.01 percent zirconium, from 0 to 0.001 percent sulfur, from 0 to 0.10 percent vanadium, and the balance nickel+ incidental impurities. The superalloy has a phasial stability number N.sub.v3b less than about 1.65.
