Benefits of technology

The steel exhibits significantly improved long-term creep rupture strength and steam oxidation resistance, enabling reliable operation at 650°C with reduced material costs and enhanced durability, thus improving thermal power plant efficiency and reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the plant starts or stops, a great thermal stress is applied to these header and piping and the header and piping are easily damaged due to thermal fatigue.
In addition, the increase in material cost and process cost causes an economic problem.
Therefore, it has been found that the creep rupture strength lowers during long-term use for several tens of thousands of hours or longer.
Particularly, at a high temperature around 650° C. much higher than 600° C., so-called fluting that involves sudden lowering in creep strength after about several tens of thousands of hours is a great obstacle in the development of a high-Cr steel (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
To solve these problems, a special method by addition of noble metals (Non-Patent Document 2) has also been proposed, however, this greatly increases the material cost, so that it has not been made practicable.

Embodiment Construction

[0050]Hereinafter, examples / embodiments of the present invention will be described by using actual examples.

[0051]The heat-resistant steels having the chemical compositions shown in Table 1 of the present examples and comparative steels were molten in a vacuum induction melting furnace, and forged into 50 kg ingots, respectively. The comparative steel A is nominal 9Cr1MoNbV steel, comparative steels B and C are nominal 9Cr0.5Mo1.8WNbV steels, and all of these have been made practicable as boiler steels. After forming steel sheets with a thickness of 20 millimeters by hot forging, the steel sheets were normalized at 1,050° C. for 60 minutes and tempered at 780° C. for 60 minutes, and then subjected to a creep rupture test. In addition, small-sized sheet-like test specimens were processed from the steel sheets, and subjected to an oxidation test by using steam at 650° C.
