Abstract
The initial phase in the development of a new class of high temperature materials based upon the incorporation of platinum group metals as alloy constituents in nickel based superalloys has been reported here previously. It was shown that the new alloys provide enhanced resistance to environmental corrosion when compared with their conventional base metal counterparts, without detriment to high temperature strength. This paper describes the results of more detailed studies of the constitutional and structural aspects of these complex alloys which led to the design of a developmental alloy, RJM2012, specifically tailored for operation under the aggressive environmental conditions found in the industrial and marine gas turbine.
