Abstract
Methods of forming an intermediate alloy and a Ni-base super alloy are disclosed along with the intermediate alloy and the Ni-base super alloy formed by the method. The method includes at least partially melting and solidifying a powder including about 5 to 15 wt. % of Co, 10 to 20 wt. % of Cr, 3 to 6 wt. % of Mo, 3 to 6 wt. % of W, 2 to 4 wt. % of Al, 4.2 to 4.7 wt. % of Ti, 0.01 to 0.05 wt. % of Zr, 0.015 to 0.060 wt. % of C, 0.001 to 0.030 wt. % of B and balance substantially Ni to form an intermediate alloy including a dendrite structure that includes columnar regions and intercolumnar regions and a primary dendrite arm spacing less than about 3 micrometers. The intermediate alloy is heat-treated to form the texture-free Ni-base super alloy.
