Abstract
There is provided by the present invention an alloy which is mechanically and chemically compatible with advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys and which possesses excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation. The alloy of the invention is, therefore, particularly useful as a protective environmental coating for the external surfaces of hot-stage aircraft gas turbine engine components, e.g., rotating blades and stationary vanes, made from such advanced superalloys.
