A unidirectionally solidified anisotropic metallic composite body exhibiting transverse ductility, cyclic oxidation resistance, hot corrosion resistance and high temperature strength properties comprising a eutectic nickel-base superalloy containing about, on a weight basis, 2- 9% Re, less than 0.8% Ti, at least 2% Mo, and less than 1% V. Embedded in the matrix is an aligned carbide reinforcing fibrous phase, preferably one selected from carbides, primarily of Ta.
