Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0835946A1] This invention relates to low-Cr ferritic cast steels having excellent high-temperature strength, weldability, oxidation resistance and high-temperature corrosion resistance. These low-Cr ferritic cast steels consist essentially of, on a weight percentage basis, 0.03 to 0.12% C, 0.03 to 0.7% Si, 0.02 to 1% Mn, up to 0.3% Co, up to 0.025% P, up to 0.015% S, 0.8 to 3% Cr, 0.01 to 1% Ni, 0.01 to 0.5% V, 0.1 to 3% W, 0.01 to 0.2% Nb, 0.001 to 0.05% Al, 0.0001 to 0.02% B, 0.001 to 0.05% N, up to 0.03% O, 0.0005 to 0.05% Mg, and the balance being iron and incidental impurities, provided that the Mg content satisfies the following inequality as expressed on a weight percentage basis: <MATH> As a result, they exhibit excellent weldability and markedly improved high-temperature strength.
