Abstract

There is provided a steam turbine rotor with high reliability and corresponding to increase in length of a high strength steel blade, in which only a low-pressure last stage is highly strengthened. The steam turbine rotor includes a steam turbine low-pressure last stage long blade made of a precipitation hardening type martensitic stainless steel containing, in mass, 0.1% or less of C, 0.1% or less of N, 9.0% to 14.0% inclusive of Cr, 9.0% to 14.0% inclusive of Ni, 0.5% to 2.5% inclusive of Mo, 0.5% or less of Si, 1.0% or less of Mn, 0.25% to 1.75% inclusive of Ti, 0.25% to 1.75% inclusive of Al, and the balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, and a disk having a specific alloy composition is joined to a last stage section of the turbine rotor made of a low-alloy steel.

Claims (9)

1. A steam turbine rotor, comprising:

a steam turbine low-pressure final stage long blade made of a precipitation hardening type martensitic stainless steel containing, in mass, 0.1% or less of C, 0.1% or less of N, 9.0% to 14.0% inclusive of Cr, 9.0% to 14.0% inclusive of Ni, 0.5% to 2.5% inclusive of Mo, 0.5% or less of Si, 1.0% or less of Mn, 0.25% to 1.75% inclusive of Ti, 0.25% to 1.75% inclusive of Al, and the balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, and

a disk containing, in mass, 0.10% to 0.35% of C, 0.50% or less of Si, 0.33% or less of Mn, 8.0% to 13.0% of Cr, 0.5% to 3.5% of Ni, 1.5% to 4.0% of Mo, 0.05% to 0.35% of V, 0.02% to 0.30% in total of at least one kind of Nb and Ta, 0.02% to 0.15% of N, and the balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the disk is joined to a final stage section of the stream turbine rotor made of a low-alloy steel.

2. The steam turbine rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the stream turbine low-pressure final stage long blade further contains, in mass, 0.5% or less of at least one kind selected from Nb, V and Ta.

3. The steam turbine rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the steam turbine low-pressure final stage long blade further contains W, and the total amount of Mo and W is the same as the amount of Mo added alone.

4. The steam turbine rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the inevitable impurities of the steam turbine low-pressure final stage long blade are at least one kind selected from S, P, Sb, Sn and As, where, in mass, S: 0.5% or less, P: 0.5% or less, Sb: 0.1% or less, Sn:0.1% or less and As:0.1% or less.

5. The steam turbine rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the disk of the stream turbine low-pressure final stage is welded by a melt welding method of one of TIG welding, submerged arc welding, and shield metal arc welding.

6. A steam turbine, comprising the steam turbine rotor according to claim 1 .

7. A steam turbine power generation plant, comprising the steam turbine according to claim 6 .
