Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1602742A1] A high-strength steel for a large-scaled forging consists essentially of, by mass, C: 0.30 to 0.50 %, Si: more than 0.15 %, but not more than 0.40 %, Mn: 0.80 to 1.20 %, Ni: 0.80 to 2.5 %, Cr: 1.0 to 3.0 %, Mo: 0.35 to 0.70 %, V: 0.10 to 0.25 %, and balance: Fe and unavoidable impurities. The high-strength steel is low in cost as compared to 3.5NiCrMo steel proposed as high-strength Ni-Cr-Mo steel for large forgings such as a rotor shaft of a generator, and has excellent strength and toughness as compared to 34CrNiMo6.
