Abstract

We have identified cobalt-base superalloys showing a high-temperature strength greater than those of conventional nickel-base superalloys. The cobalt-base alloys are strengthened by a ternary compound with the L1 2 structure, γ′ Co3(Al,W), which precipitates in the disordered γface-centered cubic cobalt matrix with high coherency and with high melting points. We also identified a ternary compound, γ′ Ir3(Al,W), with the L12 structure, which suggests that the Co-Ir-Al-W-base systems with γ + γ′ (Co,Ir)3(Al,W) structures offer great promise as candidates for next-generation high-temperature materials.
