Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, when Cr oxides (mainly composed of Cr2O3) are formed as such metal oxides, the function of preventing entry of oxygen or carbon is insufficient because of their poor tightness, and internal oxidization occurs in a high temperature atmosphere, and thus the oxide film is bloated.
Further, these Cr oxides are easy to peel off during repeated cycles of heating and cooling, and even when they do not eventually peel off, oxygen or carbon from the external atmosphere can pass through the film to disadvantageously lead internal oxidization or cementation in the base material because the function of preventing entry of oxygen or carbon is insufficient.
However, since Al is a ferrite generating element, it will deteriorate the ductility of the material, and decrease high temperature strength when the content is too large.
Therefore, the austenite-based heat resistant alloys in the above patent documents have a disadvantage of causing deterioration in ductility of a base material although they are expected to improve the barrier function by Al2O3.
Further, when the inner surface process to a cast body is conducted by a skiving process which is a general finishing process, scratches can arise on the surface of the cast body.
Such a scratch part has a surface property different from that of the remaining part of the base material because a processing strain is excessively added, and the surface roughness is roughened.
For addressing to this problem, it is conceivable to conduct polishing such as honing process for removing these scratches, however, increase in process costs, and extension of production period will be caused.
Further, when the cast product is a straight tube, and thus has a small diameter or a large length, the polishing such as the honing process cannot be effected over the entire length as described above, and a part having large surface roughness can be left.
As a result, in these parts, desired Al2O3 film cannot be formed in some cases.
However, the alumina barrier layer formed on the surface of the straight tube can peel off due to strain or the like occurring in the bent portion at the time of bending the straight tube.
For addressing to this problem, it is conceivable to form an alumina barrier layer by conducting a heat treatment after joining the cast products having subjected to a surface treatment by welding, however, in this case, metal oxides mainly composed of Cr oxides are formed, in particular, in the welded part, and an alumina barrier layer having sufficient cementation resistance cannot be formed.
In conventional arts, in contrast to the cast body formed with an alumina barrier layer, a welded part not formed with an alumina barrier layer allows entry of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and the like from the external atmosphere and cannot prevent oxidation, carbonization and nitriding for a long term.

first embodiment

[0069]The first embodiment according to the present invention provides a cast product in which an alumina barrier layer containing Al2O3 is formed on a surface of a cast body, and the cast body contains C: 0.3 mass % to 0.7 mass %, Si: 0.1 mass % to 1.5 mass %, Mn: 0.1 mass % to 3 mass %, Cr: 15 mass % to 40 mass %, Ni: 20 mass % to 55 mass %, Al: 2 mass % to 4 mass %, rare earth element: 0.005 mass % to 0.4 mass %, W: 0.5 mass % to 5 mass % and / or Mo: 0.1 mass % to 3 mass %, and 25 mass % or more of Fe in the remainder and an inevitable impurity, and 80 mass % or more of the rare earth element is occupied by La. In this description, “%” is “mass %” unless otherwise specified.

[0070]C: 0.3% to 0.7%

[0071]C has a function of improving the castability and increasing the high temperature creep rupture strength. Therefore, C is contained in at least 0.3%. However, when the content is too large, primary carbide of Cr7C3 tends to be widely formed, and migration of Al that forms the alumina ...

[0125]Cr: 15% or More

[0126]Cr is contained in 15% or more, and the upper limit is 40%. The content of Cr is more desirably 20% to 30%.

[0127]Ni: 20% or More

[0128]Ni is contained in at least 20% or more. Since the effect of increasing the amount is not obtained when Ni is contained in more than 55%, the upper limit is 55%. The content of Ni is more preferably 28% to 45%.
