Abstract

 The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the well-known corrosion-resistant nickel-based superalloys for of turbine blades with a columnar granular structure and a single-crystal structure are considered. Result of computer design and experimental studies of new single crystal corrosion resistant nickel-based superalloy VZHM9 with 1.5 (% wt.) Re and density 8.35 g/cm3 are presented. It is shown that the VZHM 9 alloy has high phase stability, increased tensile strength and ductility characteristics  (\( \sigma_{0,2}^{20^\circ} = 970 \, \text{МПа}, \, \sigma_B^{20^\circ} = 1030 \, \text{МПа}, \, \delta_1^{20^\circ} = 10\%, \, \psi_1^{20^\circ} = 13,5\% \)), and creep strength (\( \sigma_{1000}^{1000^\circ} = 200 \, \text{МПа}, \, \sigma_{500}^{1000^\circ} = 140 \, \text{МПа}, \, \sigma_{1000}^{1000^\circ} = 120 \, \text{МПа} \)).
