Definitions
- This invention relates to a cobalt base metal alloy, which includes alloying metal additives which make the resulting alloy corrosion resistant and of great mechanical work strength at temperatures up to as high as 1800 F.
- alloy of this invention may be cast, is highly resistant to oxidation and other forms of corrosion at temperatures up to about 1800 F., and possesses great mechanical work strength at temperatures up to between 1500 F. and 1800 F. As a result, this alloy may be used in the manufacture of blades, vanes, and other parts of high temperature gas turbine engines. Other important uses of the alloy of this invention are in the manufacture of exhaust valves and manifolds in internal combustion engines, in heat exchangers, and in linings for retorts and container vessels used in the chemical and metallurgical industries. 7
- a common nickel-cobalt base metal alloy which incorporates molybdenum as a constituent is for all practical purposes non-utilizable as a structural member in a gas turbine engine if the metal temperature is above 1500 F.
- the oxidation resistance of such an alloy fails above 1500 F.
- the alloy of this invention used in blades or vanes in a high temperature gas turbine engine is corrosion resistant and has higher tensile strength at markedly higher temperatures than conventional alloys, the gas turbine engine can be operated at such higher temperature.
- the performance of the gas turbine engine is improved, in that the total thrust is increased and the amount of fuel consumed per pound of thrust is decreased.
- the metal alloy of this invention is comprised by weight of approximately: 15 to 30 percent of chromium; to-15 percent of tungsten; from 0.5 to 5 percent of columbium; from 0.1 to 1.3 percent of carbon; from 0.01 to 0.2 percent of boron; and the balance, essentially cobalt. r
- Tantalum may be present in an amount such that if the amount of columbium in the alloy is greater than 3 percent, the combined amount of tantalum and columbium is less than or'equalto 20 percent of the alloy, and if the amount of columbium in the alloy is equal to or less than 3 percent, then the tantalum should never exceed twice the amount of columbium in the alloy.
- Molybdenum may be tolerated in the alloy of this While silicon, nickel and iron are not essential ingredients to the metal alloy of the present invention, it has been found that the'addition of small percentages of any one or more of these ingredients, that is, up to about 1.5 percent of silicon, and up to about 5 percent of nickel and/or iron may in certain cases somewhat improve the oxidation resistance of the alloy.
- An alloy having the above composition is particularly resistant to oxidation and has high strength at elevated temperatures above 1500 15., so as to be suitable for use in forming cast liners for retorts and container vessels used in the chemical and metallurgical industries as well as for blades or vanes in high temperature gas turbine engines.
- the following impurities in the alloy be held to the following limits by weight.
- the manganese content in the final alloy should be no more than about 2 percent.
- the interstitial elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen, tin, lead and the like should be kept as low as possible.
- no more than about 0.5 percent total of deoxidizers such as calcium, magnesium and the like should be present.

Description
United States Patent" HIGH TEMPERATURE COBALT BASE ALLOY Rudolf H. Thielemann, Palo Alto, Calif., assignor to Sierra Metals Corporation, Chicago, 11]., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed July 28, 1958, Ser. No. 751,162
8 Claims. (Cl. 75-171) This invention relates to a cobalt base metal alloy, which includes alloying metal additives which make the resulting alloy corrosion resistant and of great mechanical work strength at temperatures up to as high as 1800 F.
Important features of the alloy of this invention are that it may be cast, is highly resistant to oxidation and other forms of corrosion at temperatures up to about 1800 F., and possesses great mechanical work strength at temperatures up to between 1500 F. and 1800 F. As a result, this alloy may be used in the manufacture of blades, vanes, and other parts of high temperature gas turbine engines. Other important uses of the alloy of this invention are in the manufacture of exhaust valves and manifolds in internal combustion engines, in heat exchangers, and in linings for retorts and container vessels used in the chemical and metallurgical industries. 7
The prior art nickel and/or cobalt base metal alloys which have been used as blades, vanes, and other parts of high temperature gas turbine engines, have a maximum operating temperature of about 1500 F. For example, a common nickel-cobalt base metal alloy which incorporates molybdenum as a constituent is for all practical purposes non-utilizable as a structural member in a gas turbine engine if the metal temperature is above 1500 F. The oxidation resistance of such an alloy fails above 1500 F.
Since the alloy of this invention used in blades or vanes in a high temperature gas turbine engine is corrosion resistant and has higher tensile strength at markedly higher temperatures than conventional alloys, the gas turbine engine can be operated at such higher temperature. The performance of the gas turbine engine is improved, in that the total thrust is increased and the amount of fuel consumed per pound of thrust is decreased. p a
The metal alloy of this invention is comprised by weight of approximately: 15 to 30 percent of chromium; to-15 percent of tungsten; from 0.5 to 5 percent of columbium; from 0.1 to 1.3 percent of carbon; from 0.01 to 0.2 percent of boron; and the balance, essentially cobalt. r
I have foundthat the strength characteristics of the alloy of this invention are improved by the addition of the boron, as specified, in an amount of from about 0.01,
percent up to about 0.2 percent. The addition of this constituent in the amounts specified improves the high temperature metallurgical stability and the strength characteristics of the alloy of this invention. However, if the boron content exceeds 0.2 percent, then the alloy of this invention may be unsatisfactory, particularly in those applications where thermal shock requirements are important.
Tantalum may be present in an amount such that if the amount of columbium in the alloy is greater than 3 percent, the combined amount of tantalum and columbium is less than or'equalto 20 percent of the alloy, and if the amount of columbium in the alloy is equal to or less than 3 percent, then the tantalum should never exceed twice the amount of columbium in the alloy.
Molybdenum may be tolerated in the alloy of this While silicon, nickel and iron are not essential ingredients to the metal alloy of the present invention, it has been found that the'addition of small percentages of any one or more of these ingredients, that is, up to about 1.5 percent of silicon, and up to about 5 percent of nickel and/or iron may in certain cases somewhat improve the oxidation resistance of the alloy.
An alloy having the above composition is particularly resistant to oxidation and has high strength at elevated temperatures above 1500 15., so as to be suitable for use in forming cast liners for retorts and container vessels used in the chemical and metallurgical industries as well as for blades or vanes in high temperature gas turbine engines.
To achieve the optimum desired properties, it is preferred that the following impurities in the alloy be held to the following limits by weight. The manganese content in the final alloy should be no more than about 2 percent. The interstitial elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen, tin, lead and the like should be kept as low as possible. In addition, no more than about 0.5 percent total of deoxidizers such as calcium, magnesium and the like should be present.
Following are examples of the preparation and test results of the cobalt base metal alloy of this invention.
