    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide Ir-Nb alloy having improved creep life which is considered to be a material useful for members for use in high temperature and high stress, such as a jet engine, turbine blades and turbine vane of a gas turbine, and further a space-plane engine, etc. SOLUTION: In the Ir-Nb alloy in which iridium (Ir) is used as a base and niobium (Nb) is added to it and precipitates with Ll2 structure are precipitated in a matrix with fcc structure in a manner to be coherent with the matrix. In this alloy, >=1 atomic % niobium and >=1 atomic % zirconium (Zr) are added and the sum of the additive quantities of niobium and zirconium is made to 10-20 atomic %, and further, this alloy exhibits >=100 hr creep life at >=1,600 deg.C.
