Abstract

To provide, in producing a large product through casting, a Ni-based alloy with a composition that minimizes variations in strength at different locations even when the solidification rate becomes slow and the amount of micro segregation increases. The Ni-based casting alloy of the present invention has a composition of, in mass %, 0.001% to 0.1% C, 15% to 23% Cr, 0% to 11.5% Mo, 3% to 18% W, 5 or less % Fe, 10 or less % Co, 0.4 or less % Ti, 0.4 or less % Al, and Nb and Ta (where 0.5%≦Nb+Ta≦4.15%), in which 7%≦Mo+1/2W≦13% is satisfied, and the composition also contains inevitable impurities and Ni.

Claims (5)

1. A steam turbine casting part comprising a Ni-based casting alloy consisting of a composition of, in mass %, 0.001% to 0.1% C, 15% to 23% Cr, 0% to 11.5% Mo, 3% to 18% W, 5 or less % Fe, 4.9 or less % Co, 0.4 or less % Ti, 0.4 or less % Al, at least one of Nb and Ta, and the balance being inevitable impurities and Ni, wherein

0.5%≦Nb+Ta≦4.15% is satisfied, and

7%≦Mo+1/2W≦13% is satisfied.

2. A steam turbine casting part comprising the Ni-based casting alloy according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a thickest portion is 50 mm or greater.

3. A steam turbine casting part comprising the Ni-based casting alloy according to claim 1 , wherein a weight of the part is 1 ton or greater.
