Abstract

Multicomponent nickel base intermetallics with the L12 structure were evaluated as high temperature structural materials. The compounds were based on the γ' composition of PWA 1480, a high strength single crystal nickel base superalloy. The best balance of properties in the compound was achieved with <111> oriented single crystals but no significant advantage could be demonstrated over the precipitation hardened superalloys. Insufficient impact resistance was a major deficiency of the L12 compounds. Other nickel base intermetallics were also evaluated but showed little advantage over superalloys.
