Abstract
Abstract The tensile ductility of low chromium substantially precipitation hardened nickel-base alloys within the temperature range of 600° C. to 900° C. is improved through the incorporation in the alloys of controlled amounts of yttrium.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
As a new article of manufacture, a cast metal component having improved tensile ductility within the temperature range of about 700° C. to about 800° l C., particularly about 760° C., said component being formed of an alloy consisting essentially of up to 10.5% chromium, from 4% to 12% in total of titanium plus aluminum, up to 20% cobalt, up to 25% tungsten, up to 10% molybdenum, up to 12% tantalum, up to 6% niobium, up to 5% iron, up to 3% vanadium, up to 1.5% zirconium, up to 0.5% carbon, up to 0.5% manganese, up to 0.3% silicon, up to 0.3% boron, and from 0.005% to 0.15% yttrium, the balance being essentially nickel.
