Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008119638A1] The invention relates to a creep resistant steel which is characterized by the following chemical composition (given in % by weight): 9.0 to 12.0 Cr, 0.1 to 0.5 Mn, 2.3 to 3 Ni, 1.5 to 2.0 Mo, 0.1 to 0.4 V, 0.01 to 0.06 Nb, 0.08 to 0.16 C, 0.02 to 0.08 N, 0.004 to 0.012 B, 0.001 to 2 Ta, 0.001 to 0.5 La, 0.0001 to 1 Pd, maximum 0.005 P, maximum 0.005 S, maximum 0.05 Si, maximum 0.005 Sn, and the balance iron and unavoidable impurities. This steel distinguishes itself from other commercial steels by a much improved creeping behavior at temperatures of 550°C and higher. The steel also has an improved resistance to embrittlement after long-term aging, and a comparatively high tensile strength. The steel can be advantageously utilized as a material for gas turbine rotors which is exposed to high entrance temperatures for the purpose of increasing efficiency of the gas turbine, but can also be utilized in steam turbines.
