Abstract

Some important characteristics of gas turbine engines (in the first place the thrust and the efficiency) depend on the gas temperature and hence are determined by the service life of the blades. Heat-resistant nickel alloys are used for casting blades that can work at maximum temperatures of 1050–1100°C. However, more efficient engines need materials with a higher operating temperature and high-temperature strength. The work concerns the principles of alloying and structure formation of eutectic heat-resistant alloys on a nickel base with carbide and intermetallic strengthening. Their main mechanical properties at high temperatures are analyzed in comparison with the characteristics of high-temperature single-crystal nickel alloys, and the possibility of using them for casting turbine blades of high-temperature gas-turbine engines is considered.
