Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is directed to alloys and components comprising alloys. More specifically, the present invention is directed to Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum-Vanadium (NiCrMoV) alloys.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • In general, steam turbine plants can include a high pressure steam turbine, an intermediate pressure steam turbine, and a low pressure steam turbine. Each steam turbine is formed of materials appropriate to withstand operating conditions, pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc., for that particular turbine. Each turbine can include a rotor and a casing jacket. The rotor includes a rotatably mounted turbine shaft that includes blades. When heated and pressurized steam flows through the flow space between the casing jacket and the rotor, the turbine shaft is set in rotation as energy is transferred from the steam to the rotor.
  • Recently, steam turbine plant designs directed toward a larger capacity and a higher efficiency have been designed that include steam turbines that operate at higher temperatures and/or for longer periods. For example, the low pressure steam turbine can include low pressure rotor forgings that operate for long periods of time at temperatures in excess of 600°F. Alloys of NiCrMoV formed by conventional steel making processes and used at temperatures above 600°F undesirably require special cooling otherwise an undesirable increase in the ductile to brittle transition temperature occurs.
  • NiCrMoV alloys capable of handling these high temperatures require extensive steelmaking processing to reduce the content of deleterious impurities, for example, having manganese at a concentration of less than about 0.06% and phosphorus at a concentration of less than about 0.005%. These alloys are referred to as superclean. These superclean alloys can incur a high manufacturing cost and/or are not capable of being produced by conventional steel making processes.
  • An alloy and turbine component having an alloy that do not suffer from one or more of the above drawbacks would be desirable in the art.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In an exemplary embodiment, a NiCrMoV alloy includes, by weight, between about 0.06% and about 0.12% manganese, at least about 3.40% nickel, between about 0.24% and about 0.30% carbon, up to about 0.60% molybdenum, up to about 0.15% vanadium, up to about 2.00% chromium, up to about 0.012% phosphorus, up to about 0.007% sulfur, up to about 0.10% silicon, up to about 0.002% antimony, up to about 0.008% arsenic, up to about 0.012% tin, and up to about 0.015% aluminum.
  • In an exemplary embodiment, a NiCrMoV alloy includes, by weight, between about 0.06% and about 0.12% manganese, at least about 3.40% nickel, between about 0.22% and about 0.30% carbon, up to about 0.60% molybdenum, up to about 0.15% vanadium, up to about 2.00% chromium, up to about 0.012% phosphorus, up to about 0.007% sulfur, up to about 0.10% silicon, up to about 0.002% antimony, up to about 0.008% arsenic, up to about 0.012% tin, and up to about 0.015% aluminum. The phosphorus is present at a concentration of at least about 0.007%, the sulfur is present at a concentration of at least about 0.006%, the silicon is present at a concentration of at least about 0.05%, or a combination thereof.
  • In another exemplary embodiment, a NiCrMoV alloy includes nickel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and manganese, the manganese being at a concentration of, by weight, at least about 0.06%. The NiCrMoV alloy is resistant to embrittlement at temperatures above 371°C (700°F).
