Abstract
A nickel-base braze material suitable for closing holes in a high temperature component, such as a tip cap hole in a turbine blade. The braze material comprises first and second filler materials and a binder. The first filler material comprises particles of a first alloy, and the second filler material comprises particles of at least a second alloy having a lower melting temperature than the first alloy. The second alloy consists essentially of, by weight, about 8 to about 23 percent chromium, about 4 to about 18 percent cobalt, about 1.5 to about 6.0 percent tantalum, about 1.0 to about 6.0 percent aluminum, about 0.3 to about 1.5 percent boron, about 2.0 to about 6.0 percent silicon, up to 0.2 percent carbon, the balance being nickel and incidental impurities.
