Abstract

A steel has the following chemical composition (amounts in % by weight): 0.05-0.14 C, 8-13 Cr, 1-2.6 Ni, 0.5-1.9 Mo, 0.5-1.5 Mn, 0.15-0.5 Si, 0.2-0.4 V, 0-0.04 B, 2.1-4.0 Re, 0-0.07 Ta, 0-60 ppm Pd, remainder Fe and unavoidable impurities. The steel can be used effectively as a welding additive material and has outstanding properties at very high temperatures, in particular a good creep rupture strength/resistance and a good oxidation resistance.
