An equiaxed superalloy has high rupture life equivalent to single crystal alloy DD3.
Low Cr and high W superalloys possess good microstructrual stability at 850–1100 °C.
Tantalum promotes, strengthens and stabilizes the eutectic 纬′ and MC carbides.
Excessive Ta leads to form harmful abnormal primary 伪 and plate-like M6C phases.
Proper Ta can improve the stress rupture life at intermediate and high temperatures.
