New high temperature materials are needed to substitute Ni-base superalloys above 1200°C. Co-Re based alloys are being developed at TU Braunschweig, for this purpose. Re (high melting) forms a continuous solid solution with Co and increases melting point of Co-alloys. Various hardening mechanisms is explored in Co-Re-Cr-C system; namely solid solution hardening by Re, precipitation strengthening by carbides and composite strengthening by - hard (Re-rich) and soft (Co-rich) phases. Unlike in the conventional Co-alloys, where the matrix is fcc, in Co-Re alloy the matrix is hcp phase. The morphology and distribution of second phases are important parameters for effective strengthening. For application in gas turbine the long term stability of the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties are important. Study of microstructure stability and mechanical properties at high temperatures on two experimental alloys Co-17Re-23Cr and Co-17Re-23Cr-2.6C [compositions in at%] will be presented.
