That depends on the mechanical properties you want. From the data, UTS is clearly superior. It also appears that the test data on the alloy shows plastic deformation before the shear occurs. What that really means, if I were the engineer supervising the application, is the part has to show superior performance in the application. In this case, turbine blades, creep over time leads to failure. Creep is plastic behavior over long time periods.

I'm simply being cautious by saying "at least."
