Abstract

A high strength, ductile, and tough Ni-base heat resistant alloy comprises by mass percent, C: 0.1% or less, Si: 1% or less, Mn: 1% or less, Cr: not less than 15% to less than 28%, Fe: 15% or less, W: more than 5% to not more than 20%, Al: more than 0.5% to not more than 2%, Ti: more than 0.5% to not more than 2%, Nd: 0.001 to 0.1% and B: 0.0005 to 0.01%, with the balance being Ni and impurities. Impurity contents of P, S, Sn, Pb, Sb, Zn and As are P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Sn: 0.020% or less, Pb: 0.010% or less, Sb: 0.005% or less, Zn: 0.005% or less and As: 0.005% or less, and formulas of [0.015≦Nd+13.4×B≦0.13], [Sn+Pb≦0.025] and [Sb+Zn +As≦0.010] are met.

Claims (16)

1. A Ni-base heat resistant alloy, which comprises by mass percent, C: 0.1% or less, Si: 1% or less, Mn: 1% or less, Cr: not less than 15% to less than 28%, Fe: 15% or less, W: more than 5% to not more than 20%, Al: more than 0.5% to not more than 1.65%, Ti: more than 0.5% to not more than 2%, Nd: 0.001 to 0.1% and B: 0.0005 to 0.01%, with the balance being Ni and impurities, in which the contents of P, S, Sn, Pb, Sb, Zn and As among the impurities are P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Sn: 0.020% or less, Pb: 0.010% or less, Sb: 0.005% or less, Zn: 0.005% or less and As: 0.005% or less, and further satisfies the following formulas (1) to (3):

0.015≦Nd+13.4×B≦0.13  (1),

Sn+Pb≦0.025  (2),

Sb+Zn+As≦0.010  (3);

wherein each element symbol in the formula (4) represents the content by mass percent of the element concerned.

3. The Ni-base heat resistant alloy according to claim 1 , which further contains, by mass percent, one or more elements of one or more groups selected from the following groups <1> to <3> in lieu of a part of Ni:

<1> Nb: 1.0% or less, V: 1.5% or less, Zr: 0.2% or less and Hf: 1.0% or less,

<2> Mg: 0.05% or less, Ca: 0.05% or less, Y: 0.5% or less, La: 0.5% or less, and Ce: 0.5% or less,

<3> Ta: 8% or less and Re: 8% or less.

4. The Ni-base heat resistant alloy according to claim 2 , which further contains, by mass percent, one or more elements of one or more groups selected from the following groups <1> to <3> in lieu of a part of Ni:

<1> Nb: 1.0% or less, V: 1.5% or less, Zr: 0.2% or less and Hf: 1.0% or less,

<2> Mg: 0.05% or less, Ca: 0.05% or less, Y: 0.5% or less, La: 0.5% or less, and Ce: 0.5% or less,

<3> Ta: 8% or less and Re: 8% or less.
