The alloy has been successfully cast and utilized in a variety of shapes from turbine blades, vanes and nozzles to integral wheels.

N, values over 2.50 generally indicate that an alloy is susceptible to sigma 100 was originally introduced, the suggested range for titanium extended from 4.5 to a max: 5 per cont, Compositions toward the top side of this range did exhibit sigma formation, For example, # 5.3 Ti alloy with an N, of 2.70 contained sigma which detracted from rupture life. The maximum titanium level then was reduced to the current AMS specification value of 5.0 percent This change eliminated the deleterious effects of sigma on material properties without sacrificing any of he material's desired properties ‘Thermal Expansion (Seo Figure 1) Maan Test Temp.

The properties shown in this bulletin are for IN- 100 in the as-cast condition. In many applications, IN-100 components are given a protective coating to enchance corrosion resistance, This treatment generally includes a diffusion cycle at a jemperature between 1800-2100 "F for 2-8 hours, In effect, this treatment provides the material with ¢ rotated in and out of a furnace fired with JP-4 During the heating cycle, a controlled amount of exit and mixed with the gas stream.

If the coating is to be dif- fused ac 1900-1950 °F, it is suggested that the material receive preliminary high temperature solutioning at 2100-2150 °F. An aging treatment at 1500-1600 “F is recommended efter the coating cycle. This should provide material with a capability of maintaining a consistently high level of mechanical properties MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, Tensile Properties (See Figure 5) ai Vers Tensile Strength Strongth long. psi si % 70 123,000 147,000 90 3000 128,000 158/000 20 +200 +129,000 461,000 60 +350 127,900 159/000 65 +500 118,000 444,000 60 700 73,000, 107,000 60 3900 41,000 164000 60 Creep — Rupture Properties Coarse grain (21/8") and fine grain (S1/16") cast properties.

Assume one-half of the carbon forms MC in the following preferential order TaC, cee, Tic. a. Assume the remaining carbon forms M and 2 atoms of Mo. (C, with the M comprising 21 atoms of Ci b. IF the total weight per cent of Mo © 1/2 W exceeds 6.0%, M,C will form ranging in composition from M,Mo,C to M,Mo,C where M may be iron, chromium, cobalt or combinations thereof. 3. Assume the boron is primarily tied up as M,M'B, where M may be Mo, Ti or Al or combinations thereof and M' may be Cr, Fe, or Ni and combinations thereof, 4. The gamma prime is considered to be Ni, (AL, Ti, Ta, Cb). 5, Assume the residual matrix will consist of the atomie per cent minus those atoms tied up in the carbide reaction, boride reaction, and the gamma prime reaction. The total of these remaining atomic percentages gives the atomic concentration ia the matrix. Coaversion of this ou a 100% basis gives the atomie per cent of each element remaining in the matrix. It is this percentage that is used in order to calculate the electron vacancy number. 6, ‘The formula for calculation of the electron vacaney number is as follows 66 Ni + L.TI Co + 2.66 Fe + 4.66 (Cr + Mo + W) + 5.66 V 4 6.66 Zr 161 REFERENCES *Nickel-Base Superalloy Oxidation", Interim Progress Report #2.
