Abstract

An Ni base forged alloy is easy to make hot forging and miniaturization of crystal grains while excellent high-temperature strength and segregation property are compatible. The Ni base forged alloy has solid solution temperature of a precipitation strengthening phase lower than or equal to 970° C., difference in the solid solution temperature between a δ-phase and the precipitation strength phase larger than or equal to 50° C., Al of 0.5 to 1.0%, Cr of 17 to 21%, Fe of 17 to 19%, Nb of 4.5 to 5.5%, Ti of 0.8 to 1.3%, W of 3.0 to 6.0%, B of 0.001 to 0.03%, C of 0.001 to 0.1% and Mo of 1.0% or less in mass percentage [%] and remainder made of Ni and inevitable impurities.

Claims (9)

1. An Ni base forged alloy having solid solution temperature of a precipitation strengthening phase lower than or equal to 970° C., difference in the solid solution temperature between a δ-phase and the precipitation strength phase larger than or equal to 50° C., Al of 0.5 to 1.0%, Cr of 17 to 21%, Fe of 17 to 19%, Nb of 4.5 to 5.5%, Ti of 0.8 to 1.3%, W of 3.0 to 6.0%, B of 0.001 to 0.03%, C of 0.001 to 0.1% and Mo of 1.0% or less in mass percentage [%] and remainder made of Ni and inevitable impurities.

2. An Ni base forged alloy according to claim 1 , wherein a value of an expression 1 defined by “2.20×amount of Al+1.32×amount of Ti−0.46×amount of Nb” is smaller than or equal to 1.

3. An Ni base forged alloy according to claim 1 , wherein an average diameter of crystal grains is smaller than or equal to 100 μm.

4. An Ni base forged alloy according to claim 1 , wherein

the Ni base forged alloy has weight heavier than or equal to 2 tons and yield stress at 500° C. larger than or equal to 1000 Mpa.

5. A turbine disk larger than or equal to 1 ton and processed from the Ni base forged alloy according to claim 1 .

6. A gas turbine comprising the turbine disk and/or the turbine spacer according to claim 5 and having output larger than or equal to 80 MW.

7. A turbine spacer larger than or equal to 1 ton and processed from the Ni base forged alloy according to claim 1 .

8. A gas turbine comprising the turbine disk and/or the turbine spacer according to claim 7 and having output larger than or equal to 80 MW.
