Abstract

A Ni—Fe based super alloy having high strength and toughness at high temperatures even when used in high-temperature environments, and a process of producing the super alloy. A turbine disk using the super alloy, a process of producing the turbine disk, a turbine spacer using the super alloy, and a process of producing the turbine spacer, as well as a gas turbine are also provided. The Ni—Fe based super alloy contains not more than 0.03% by weight of C, 14-18% of Cr, 15-45% of Fe, 0.5-2.0% of Al, not more than 0.05% of N, 0.5 to 2.0% of Ti, 1.5-5.0% of Nb, and Ni as a main ingredient.

Claims (6)

1. A Ni—Fe based super alloy consisting of 0.005-0.02% by weight of C, 14-18% of Cr, 15-45% of Fe, 0.5-2.0% of Al, 0.03-0.05% of N, greater than 1.0% and up to 2.0% of Ti, 1.5-5.0% of Nb and the balance being nickel and unavoidable impurities.

2. The Ni—Fe based super alloy according to claim 1 , wherein a composition of said super alloy satisfies at least one of 0.005-0.02% by weight of C, 1.0-2.0% of Al, 1.3 to 2.0% of Ti, and 0.03-0.05% of N.

3. The Ni—Fe based super alloy according to claim 1 , wherein said super alloy is subjected to aging treatment after plastic working with hot forming.

4. A turbine disk being a disk-shaped member having turbine-blade mount portions in a circumferential region thereof and made of the Ni—Fe based super alloy according to claim 1 .

5. A turbine spacer being a ring-shaped member which is disposed between adjacent turbine disks each having turbine-blade mount portions in a circumferential region of each disk and is coupled integrally with said turbine disks by bolts, said ring-shaped member being made of the Ni—Fe based super alloy according to claim 1 .

6. A gas turbine comprising a turbine stub shaft, a plurality of turbine disks coupled to said turbine stub shaft by turbine stacking bolts with turbine spacers each interposed between adjacent turbine disks, turbine blades mounted to said turbine disks and rotated by high-temperature combustion gases, and a distant piece coupled to the forward most turbine disk, wherein at least one of said turbine disks and said turbine spacers is made of the Ni—Fe based super alloy according to claim 1 .
