Abstract

In a gas turbine blade where a part of the γ′ phase precipitation strengthened type Ni-based alloy base material is composed of a weld metal, the weld metal is a Ni-based alloy containing Ta from 4.8 to 5.3 wt. %, Cr from 18 to 23 wt. %, Co from 12 to 17 wt. %, W from 14 to 18 wt. %, C from 0.03 to 0.1 wt. %, Mo from 1 to 2 wt. %, and Al of 1 wt. % or less, in which the oxygen content is 0 to 30 ppm, the Ti content from 0 to 0.1 wt. %, and the Re content from 0 to 0.5 wt. %. A blade base metal is manufactured by the step of stripping, the step of solution heat treatment where the γ′ phase is dissolved again, the step of welding in an inert gas chamber by a TIG method using a welding wire where the weld metal can be obtained, the step of HIP treatment at 1100° C. to 1150° C., and the step of an aging treatment at 835° C. to 855° C.

Claims (18)

1. A method for manufacturing a gas turbine blade in which a part of the blade base material composed of a γ′ phase precipitation strengthened type Ni-based superalloy, comprising the steps of:

stripping said blade base material;

applying a solution heat treatment in which the γ′ phase of said blade base material is dissolved;

welding to form the part composed of a weld metal by welding in an inert gas chamber using a TIG method which uses a welding wire composed of a Ni-base material containing Ta from 4.8 to 5.3 wt. %, Cr from 18 to 23 wt %, Co from 12 to 17 wt %, W from 14 to 18 wt. %, C from 0.03 to 0.1 wt. %, Mo from 1 to 2 wt. % and Al from 1 wt % or less, in which an oxygen content is 0 to 30 ppm, a Ti content is 0 to 0.1 wt. %, and a Re content is 0 to 0.5 wt. %;

applying a HIP treatment in which the HIP treatment is performed at a temperature from 1100 to 1150° C. after said welding step; and

applying an aging treatment in which the aging treatment is performed at a temperature from 835 to 855° C. after the HIP treatment.

2. The gas turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the part composed of said weld metal is a weld repaired part.

3. The gas turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the part of said gas turbine blade exposed to high temperature and high stress is previously composed of said weld metal.

4. The gas turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein said solution heat treatment is performed at a temperature not lower than the solid-solution temperature of the γ′ phase and not higher than the partial melting temperature.

5. The gas turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the step of stripping said gas turbine blade is a treatment in which a coating film formed over the surface of the gas turbine blade is peeled off.

6. The gas turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein said welding wire contains Al from 0.25 to 1 wt. %, Si from 0.15 to 0.35 wt. %, and Mn from 0.4 to 2 wt. %.

7. A method for manufacturing a gas turbine blade in which a part of the blade base material composed of a γ′ phase precipitation strengthened type Ni-based superalloy, comprising the steps of:

welding to form the part composed of a weld metal by welding in an inert gas chamber using a TIG method which uses a welding wire composed of a Ni-base material containing Ta from 4.8 to 5.3 wt. %, Cr from 18 to 23 wt %, Co from 12 to 17 wt %, W from 14 to 18 wt. %, C from 0.03 to 0.1 wt. %, Mo from 1 to 2 wt. % and Al from 1 wt % or less, in which an oxygen content is 0 to 30 ppm, a Ti content is 0 to 0.1 wt. %, and a Re content is 0 to 0.5 wt. %;

applying a HIP treatment in which the HIP treatment is performed at a temperature from 1100 to 1150° C. after said welding step; and

applying an aging treatment in which the aging treatment is performed at a temperature from 835 to 855° C. after the HIP treatment.

8. The gas turbine blade according to claim 7 , wherein the part composed of said weld metal is a weld repaired part.

9. The gas turbine blade according to claim 7 , wherein the part of said gas turbine blade exposed to high temperature and high stress is previously composed of said weld metal.

10. The gas turbine blade according to claim 7 , wherein said weld wire contains Al from 0.25 to 1 wt. %, Si from 0.15 to 0.35 wt. %, and Mn from 0.4 to 2 wt. %.
