Abstract
An alloy designed for use in gas turbine engines which has high strength and a low coefficient of thermal expansion is disclosed. The alloy may contain in weight percent 7% to 9% chromium, 21% to 24% molybdenum, greater than 5% tungsten, up to 3% iron, with a balance being nickel and impurities. The alloy must further satisfy the following compositional relationship: 31.95<R<33.45, where the R value is defined by the equation:=2.66Al+0.19Co+0.84Cr−0.16Cu+0.39Fe+0.60Mn+Mo+0.69Nb+2.16Si+0.47Ta+1.36Ti+1.07V+0.40WThe alloy has better hardness after being age-hardened at 1400° F. (760° C.) if tungsten is present from greater than 5% up to 10% and a preferred density if the alloy contains greater than 5% up to 7% tungsten.
