1 . A turbomachine part comprising a nickel-based superalloy substrate comprising, in mass content, 5.0% to 8.0% cobalt, 6.5% to 10% chromium, 0.5% to 2.5% molybdenum, 5.0% to 9.0% tungsten, 6.0% to 9.0% tantalum, 4.5% to 5.8% aluminum, hafnium in a mass content between 500 ppm and 1100 ppm, and optionally comprising niobium in a mass content less than or equal to 1.5%, and optionally at least one of carbon, zirconium and boron each in a mass content less than or equal to 100 ppm, the remainder being composed of nickel and unavoidable impurities. 2 . The turbomachine part according to claim 1 , wherein the hafnium mass content in the superalloy is between 670 ppm and 780 ppm. 3 . The turbomachine part according to claim 1 , wherein the superalloy defines an outer surface of the part. 4 . The turbomachine part according to claim 1 , comprising: a substrate formed by the nickel based superalloy, and a β-structured nickel aluminide coating present on the substrate. 5 . The turbomachine part according to claim 4 , wherein the β-structured nickel aluminide coating is a β-structured NiAl coating or β-structured NiPtAl coating. 6 . The turbomachine part according to claim 4 , wherein a thermal barrier is present on the β-structured nickel aluminide coating. 7 . The turbomachine part according to claim 1 , wherein the superalloy is monocrystalline. 8 . The turbomachine part according to claim 1 , wherein said part is a turbomachine vane, a turbomachine distributor, a turbomachine turbine ring, or a turbomachine combustion chamber. 9 . A turbomachine comprising a part according to claim 1 .
