Abstract

Provided are a Ni-based alloy for a hot die having high high-temperature compressive strength, oxidation resistance, and tensile strength and capable of yielding high productivity or long die service life, and a hot forging die using the Ni-based alloy for hot die. A Ni-based alloy for hot die comprising, in mass %, W: 12.0 to 16.0%, Mo: 1.0 to 5.0%, Al: 5.0 to 7.5%, Cr: 0.5 to 5.0%, Ta: 0.5 to 7.0%, Ti: 0.1 to 3.5%, C: 0.01 to 0.25%, N: 0.0005 to 0.01%, B: 0.05% or less, S: 0.015% or less, one or two or more elements selected from rare earth elements, Y, Ca, and Mg: 0 to 0.020% in total, one or two elements selected from Zr and Hf: 1.5% or less in total, Nb: 3.5% or less, Co: 15.0% or less, the balance being Ni and inevitable impurities, wherein C and N satisfy the following relational expression 1: C/100≤N≤C, wherein C and N in the expression mean mass % of each component content.

Claims (12)

1 . A Ni-based alloy for hot die consisting of, in mass %, W: 12.0 to 16.0%, Mo: 1.0 to 8.0%, Al: 5.0 to 7.5%, Cr: 0.5 to 5.0%, Ta: 0.5 to 7.0%, Ti: 0.1 to 3.5%, C: 0.01 to 0.25%, N: 0.0042 to 0.02%, B: 0.05% or less, S: 0.015% or less, one or two or more elements selected from rare earth elements, Y, Ca, and Mg: 0.020% or less in total, one or two elements selected from Zr and Hf: 1.5% or less in total, Nb: 3.5% or less, Co: 15.0% or less, the balance being Ni and inevitable impurities, wherein C and N satisfy the following relational expression 1:

C/100≤N≤C,

wherein C and N in the expression mean mass % of each component content.

2 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein when a cross-section of the Ni-based alloy for hot die is observed in a field of view area of at least 1000 μm 2 , a ratio of carbides having a circularity greater than 0.5 among carbides having a size of 0.25 to 200 μm 2 seen in the field of view area is 90% or more.

3 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein when a cross-section of the Ni-based alloy for hot die is observed in a field of view area of at least 1000 μm 2 , a ratio of branched carbides having a length to width ratio of 10 or more among carbides having a size of 0.25 to 200 μm 2 seen in the field of view area is 10% or less.

4 . A hot forging die using the Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 .

5 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein the content of N is in a range of 0.005 to 0.02%.

6 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein C and N satisfy the following relational expression 2:

C/50≤N≤C.

7 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein C and N satisfy the following relational expression 3:

C/11.9≤N≤C.

8 . The Ni-based alloy for hot die according to claim 1 , wherein the content of N is in a range of 0.0084 to 0.02%.
