Ni-base alloy, high-temperature member for steam turbine and welded rotor for turbine using the same, and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

The present invention provides, in a γ′ phase precipitation strengthening type Ni-base alloy, an alloy excellent in heat treatment capability and weldability and suitable for joint with a ferritic steel. Further, the present invention provides a welded turbine rotor having the strength, ductility, and toughness simultaneously over the whole welded structure when a precipitation strengthening type Ni-base alloy having a heatproof temperature of 675° C. or higher is joined to a ferritic steel. A Ni-base alloy according to the present invention contains cobalt, chromium, aluminum, carbon, boron, and at least either tungsten or molybdenum with the remainder being nickel and inevitable impurities, having an alloy composition including 12 to 25 percent by mass of Co, 10 to 18 percent by mass of Cr, 2.0 to 3.6 percent by mass of Al, 0.01 to 0.15 percent by mass of C, 0.001 to 0.03 percent by mass of B, the total amount of tungsten and molybdenum being 5.0 to 10 percent by mass. A welded turbine rotor is structured by joining or building up by welding a second Ni-base alloy to a first Ni-base alloy that a γ′ phase solid solution temperature thereof is 900° C. or higher and a creep fracture strength at 675° C. is 100 MPa or more, and further welding a ferritic steel to the second Ni-base alloy. The second Ni-base alloy is a γ′ phase (Ni3Al) precipitation strengthening type Ni-base alloy, a γ′ phase solid solution temperature thereof is 850° C. or lower.
