  • the steam turbine casing, the main steam valve and its casing, and the steam control valve and its casing, according to the present invention, are produced by using the high-strength heat resisting cast steel which has the above-described composition and is produced by the above-described method.
  • the steam turbine power plant according to the present invention is constituted by the steam turbine casing, the main steam valve, and the steam control valve.
  • C is an element that is required to be 0.06% or more to obtain high tensile length.
  • the C content exceeds 0.16%, the metal structure becomes unstable when exposed to high temperatures for a long time, thus resulting in reduction of long-time creep rupture strength. For that reason, the C content is limited to 0.06 - 0.16%.
  • a preferable range is 0.08 - 0.14% and a more preferable range is 0.09-0.12%.
  • Mn is added as a deoxidizer. By adding 0.1% of Mn, the effect of the deoxidizer is achieved. Addition of Mn in excess of 1% reduces the creep rupture strength. In particular, a preferable range is 0.3 - 0.8% and a more preferable range is 0.4 - 0.7%.
  • Si is also added as a deoxidizer. Addition of Si can be reduced by employing the steel-making technology based on, e.g., the vacuum carbon deoxidation method, but Si is required to be added 0.1% or more. Also, because Si generates the harmful ⁇ ferrite structure, the addition of Si in excess of 1% must be avoided. Reducing the Si content has the effect of preventing generation of the harmful ⁇ ferrite structure. Accordingly, when Si is added, the Si content is required to be held 1% or less. In particular, a preferable range is 0.6% or less and a more preferable range is 0.2 - 0.6%.
  • Cr is effective in improving high-temperature strength and high-temperature oxidation.
  • addition of Cr in excess of 11% causes the generation of the harmful ⁇ ferrite structure, and excessive addition of Cr causes reduction of toughness.
  • the Cr content is less than 10%, oxidation resistance against high-temperature and high-pressure steam is not sufficient.
  • the Cr range is 10.0 - 11.0%.
  • Ni is an element that suppresses generation of ⁇ ferrite and gives toughness. Therefore, the Ni content is required to be 0.1% at minimum. However, addition of Ni in excess of 1% reduces the creep rupture strength at temperatures of 620°C or above. For that reason, the Ni content is limited to 0.1 - 1.0%. In particular, a preferable range is 0.2 - 0.8% and a more preferable range is 0.3 - 0.7%.
  • W is effective in noticeably increasing the high-temperature and long-time strength. If the W content is less than 1.9%, the effect of increasing the strength is not sufficient as heat resisting cast steel when the steel is used at temperatures of 620°C or above. On the other hand, if the W content exceeds 3.0%, toughness is reduced. In particular, a preferable range is 1.95 - 2.7% and a more preferable range is 2.0 - 2.5%.
  • Mo is added to increase the high-temperature strength.
  • W is contained in excess of 1.9% as in the cast steel of the present invention
  • addition of Mo in excess of 0,6% reduces toughness and fatigue strength. Accordingly, the Mo content is limited to 0,6% or less. Thus the Mo range is 0.2 - 0.6%.
  • V is effective in increasing the creep rupture strength. If the V content is less than 0.05%, the reslting effect is not sufficient. Conversely, if the V content exceeds 0.3%, ⁇ ferrite is generated to reduce the fatigue strength. In particular, a preferable range is 0.10 - 0.25% and a more preferable range is 0.12 - 0.23%.
  • Nb is a very effective element to increase the high-temperature strength.
  • excessive addition of Nb generates coarse eutectic NB carbides, particularly in a large-sized steel ingot, thus causing precipitation of ⁇ ferrite that reduces the high-temperature strength and the fatigue strength.
  • the Nb content is required to be held less than 0.15%.
  • the Nb content is less than 0.01%, the resulting effect is not sufficient.
  • a preferable range is 0.02 - 0.12% and a more preferable range is 0.04 - 0.10%.
  • Ta and Zr are effective in increasing low-temperature toughness. A sufficient effect is obtained by adding 0.15% or less of Ta and 0.1% or less of Zr solely or in combination. When Ta is added 0.1% or more, addition of Nb can be omitted.
  • Co noticeably increases the high-temperature strength when added 0.1% or more. Such effect is presumably attributable to the interaction with W. In other words, that effect is a phenomenon specific to the alloy of the present invention which contains 1.9% or more of W. On the other hand, excessive addition of Co over 2% reduces structure stability at high temperatures and hence reduces the creep rupture strength. Therefore, the Co content is limited to 0.1 - 2%. In particular, a preferable range is 0.1 - 1.6% and a more preferable range is 0.2 - 1.2%.
  • N has the actions of not only precipitating a nitride of V, but also increasing the high-temperature strength in the solid solution state based on the IS effect (interaction between an interstitial solid solution element and a substitutive solid solution element) in cooperation with Mo and W. Therefore, N is required to be added 0.01% at minimum. However, addition of N in excess of 0.08% reduces ductility. For that reason, the N content is limited to 0.01 - 0.08%. In particular, a preferable range is 0.015 - 0.075% and a more preferable range is 0.015 - 0.06%.
  • Al is added 0.0005% or more as a deoxidizer and a crystal grain reducing agent (refiner).
  • Al is a strong nitride-forming element and fixates N that effectively acts to prevent creep.
  • addition of Al in excess of 0.03% reduces the long-time creep strength at 10 4 hours or more in a high temperature range.
  • Al promotes precipitation of the Laves phase in the form of a brittle intermetallic compound made of mainly W, thus causing precipitation of the Laves phase at the crystal grain boundary and reduction of the creep rupture strength at the longer-time side.
  • the Laves phase is continuously precipitated along the crystal grain boundary. Accordingly, an upper limit of the Al content is set to 0.03%.
  • the Al range is 0.0005- 0.03 %.
  • B is effective in increasing the high-temperature strength by the action of strengthening the crystal grain boundary and the action of causing solid solution in M 23 C 6 to thereby prevent aggregation of M 23 C 6 -type carbides into coarser grains. That effect is obtained by adding 0.0005% of B at minimum. However, addition of B in excess of 0.01% impedes weldability. For that reason, the B content is limited to 0.0005 - 0.01%. In particular, a preferable range is 0.001 - 0.008% and a more preferable range is 0.002 - 0.007%.
  • the O content in excess of 0.010% reduces the high-temperature strength and toughness values, it should be kept 0.010% or less.
  • the O range is 0.004 - 0.010 wt.
  • At least one of Re, Nd and Sr is added as explained below.
  • Re noticeably increases the high-temperature strength by strengthening with the solid solution. Because excessive addition promotes embrittlement, Re is added 1.5% or less. In consideration of Re being a rare element, the preferable range is 1.5% or less and a preferable range is 1.2% or less from the practical point of view.
  • Nd increases the high-temperature strength by forming carbo-nitrides. Nd exhibits an effect even when added in small amount, and excessive addition promotes embrittlement. Therefore, Nd is added 0.5% or less. In consideration of Nd being a rare element, its range is 0.5% or less and a preferable range is 0.3% or less from the practical point of view.
  • Sr strengthens the old austenite grain boundary and increases the low-temperature toughness and strength, thus increasing especially the creep rupture strength.
  • excessive addition promotes formation of carbo-nitrides at the grain boundary and makes the grain boundary more brittle, which leads to reduction of the toughness and strength. Therefore, Sr is added 1.0% or less.
  • a preferable range is 0.8% or less and a more preferable range is 0.5% or less from the practical point of view.
  • the heat resisting cast steel preferably has the uniform tempered martensite structure.
  • the Cr equivalent expressed by the following formula (1) must be held 10 or less.
  • the Cr equivalent must be held 4 or more because the high-temperature creep rupture strength is reduced if the Cr equivalent is too low.
  • P and S are each preferably held 0.020% or less from the viewpoint of increasing the low-temperature toughness.
  • a preferable range of P is 0.015% or less
  • a preferable range of S is 0.015% or less
  • a more preferable range of P is 0.010% or less
  • a more preferable range of S is 0.010% or less.
  • Sb is preferably held 0.0015% or less
  • Sn is preferably held 0.01% or less
  • As is preferably held 0.02% or less from the viewpoint of the current level of the steel-making technology. More preferably, Sb is held 0.0010% or less, Sn is held 0.005% or less, and As is held 0.01% or less.
  • the casing material is required to have the creep rupture strength at 620°C and 10 5 hours of 98 MPa or more. Also, because thermal stress is caused at a relatively low material temperature when the turbine is started, the casing material is required to have the impact absorbed energy at room temperature of 29.4 J or more from the viewpoint of preventing brittle fracture. To ensure higher reliability, preferably, the creep rupture strength at 620°C and 10 5 hours is 108 MPa or more, and the impact absorbed energy at room temperature is 31.4 J or more.
  • the steel ingot is a large-sized mass having weight of about 50 tons, and the highly developed steel-making technology is required to produce a steel ingot including less defects.
  • the high-strength heat resisting cast steel according to the present invention can be produced in the satisfactory form through the steps of smelting, in an electric furnace, alloy raw materials with the objective composition, deaerating the smelted materials by vacuum ladle refining, and casting the deaerated materials into a sand mold. By sufficiently refining and deoxidizing the materials before the casting step, the cast steel can be obtained with less casting defects such as shrinkage. The above point is similarly applied to the production of the main steam valve and the steam control valve.

If the annealing temperature and the normalizing temperature are 1000°C or below, carbo-nitrides cannot be obtained in the state of sufficient solid solution. Conversely, if those temperatures are too high, coarser crystal grains are caused.
  • the steam turbine casing capable of being used in steam at 620°C or above is realized in which the creep rupture strength at 620°C and 10 5 hours is 98 MPa or more, and the impact absorbed energy at room temperature is 29.4 J or more.
