Abstract
A high toughness heat-resistant steel, a turbine rotor formed of this steel and a method of producing the turbine rotor are described. The heat-resistant steel has a composition consisting essentially of: 0.05 to 0.30 wt % C, 0 to 0.20 wt % Si, 0 to 1.0 wt % Mn, 8.0 to 14.0 wt % Cr, 0.5 to 3.0 wt % Mo, 0.10 to 0.50 wt % V, 2.0 to 5.0 wt % Ni, 0.01 to 0.50 wt % Nb, 0.01 to 0.08 wt % N, 0.001 to 0.020 wt % B, balance Fe and unavoidable impurities. The steel has excellent characteristics in not only tensile strength and toughness at a relatively low temperature condition of a steam turbine such as high/low pressure combined type one but also creep rupture strength at a high temperature condition of this turbine.
