Abstract
The present invention relates to a low thermal expansion Ni-base superalloy containing, in terms of mass %, C: 0.15% or less; Si: 1% or less; Mn: 1% or less; Cr: 5% or more but less than 20%; at least one of Mo, W and Re, in which Mo+½(W+Re) is 5% or more but less than 20%; W: 10% or less; Al: 0.1 to 2.5%; Ti: 0.10 to 0.95%; Nb+½Ta: 1.5% or less; B: 0.001 to 0.02%; Zr: 0.001 to 0.2%; Fe: 4.0% or less; and a balance of inevitable impurities and Ni, in which the total amount of Al, Ti, Nb and Ta is 2.0 to 6.5% in terms of atomic %. The low thermal expansion Ni-base superalloy of the present invention has a thermal expansion coefficient almost equal to that of 12 Cr ferritic steel, excellent high temperature strength, excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, good hot-workability, and excellent weldability.
