Embodiment
The present invention uses the low alloy steel of the Mo of the Cr of C, 1.00~2.50 quality % contain 0.05~0.17 quality % and 0.45~1.10 quality %.The surplus of low alloy steel is basis with Fe in fact, contains unavoidable impurities usually.As low alloy steel,, still be not subjected to these restriction especially preferably at the hot strength of middle warm area (450~550 ℃), the 2.25%Cr-1%Mo steel of good-toughness.
The 2.25%Cr-1%Mo steel, preferably be made up of the Mn of Mo, 0.30~0.60 quality % of Cr, 0.90~1.10 quality % of C, 2.00~2.50 quality % of 0.05~0.15 quality %, Si and the surplus of 0~0.50 quality %, surplus is made up of Fe and unavoidable impurities element in fact usually.Unavoidable impurities is according to the difference of using raw material and difference, for example can list Nb below 0.035 quality % following P, 0.035 quality % following S, 0.4 quality % following Cu, 0.4 quality % following Ni, 0.03 quality % following V, the 0.02 quality % etc.
Make the 2.25%Cr-1%Mo steel by forging, after rolling, the cast form,, carrying out annealing in process in order to obtain desirable tissue.Annealing in process will keep the regular hour (for example 25mm is corresponding 1 hour) according to thickness of slab under 800~1000 ℃ temperature.At this, when 800 ℃ of treatment temperature less thaies, do not become austenite one phase, therefore the tissue before can not fully destroying can not obtain desirable uniform tissue.In addition, if surpass 1000 ℃, then coarsening, the impact characteristic produces harmful effect.Because can become austenite one phase in the short period of time, and do not worry thickization of crystal grain, so the annealing in process temperature is particularly preferably in about 925 ℃.In addition, heat treated atmosphere can be air atmosphere.
This annealing in process can be implemented in being set at the stove of set point of temperature, because operable device or program are well known by persons skilled in the art, so will not illustrate at this.
Then, the cool condition of annealing in process is to be cooled at least below 600 ℃ in the rate of cooling below 10 ℃/minute with the average cooling rate that is cooled to 600 ℃.This be because, if be cooled to 600 ℃ average cooling rate, then intersects with the ferritic nose of separating out below 10 ℃/minute, can generate a part of ferrite/pearlitic structrure as the present embodiment purpose.And, for the growing amount that makes ferrite/pearlitic structrure increases, rate of cooling is preferred more more slowly, more preferably as below 200 ℃/hour of the cold but speed of stove, be preferably as follows especially and state shown in the embodiment, the control rate of cooling is carried out slow cooling below 40 ℃/hour (0.67 ℃/minute), and if the uncovered temperature of stove is dropped to below 500 ℃, thereby the growing amount of bainite structure is reduced to as far as possible near the zero ferrite/pearlitic structrure that almost all becomes.This is because best rate of cooling should be, and reduces rate of cooling with the separating out of the bainite phase in the control cooling as far as possible, and the rate of cooling that can implement with industrialized mass production equipment.And, the process below annealing in process temperature slow cooling to 600 ℃, also can have rate of cooling be 0 ℃/minute during.That is, at the appointed time, can have do not reduce temperature, remain on uniform temperature during.
In order to finish slow cooling, cool off while can in stove, regulate temperature with the rate of cooling of regulation.
What is called is cooled to be meant below 600 ℃ with the rate of cooling below 10 ℃/minute at least, if be cooled to 600 ℃ with the rate of cooling below 10 ℃/minute, consider that also can cool off with the rate of cooling more than 10 ℃/minute from 600 ℃ to be issued to normal temperature by variation etc. along with the variation of the latitude in season or enforcement place for temperature.From making the viewpoint of efficient, be cooled to below 600 ℃ with the rate of cooling below 10 ℃/minute after, preferred air cooling.
The rate of cooling of control annealing is very important like this be because, can control separating out of bainite phase in the cooling as far as possible, the area ratio of ferrite/pearlitic structrure is improved.Fine needle-like M in ferritic phase
2C type carbide separate out help as the middle temperature low stress area of the service condition of steel of the present invention (the serviceability temperature scope: about 450~550 ℃, applied stress scope: about 10kg/mm
2Below) creep strengthen.Therefore, ferrite/pearlitic structrure has the creep strain repellence higher than bainite structure, so preferably reduce the area ratio of bainite phase as far as possible.
The high temperature structural body that obtains by present embodiment has following feature, control the rate of cooling of annealing in process as mentioned above, make its become the middle temperature low stress area that is adapted at as the service condition of steel of the present invention (the serviceability temperature scope: about 450~550 ℃, applied stress scope: about 10kg/mm

Embodiment and comparative example
With the 150mm slab of the 2.25%Cr-1%Mo steel (ASTM A387Gr22 steel) of the chemical composition shown in the table 1, implement the heat treatment of condition shown in the table 2, research organization and creep properties.With the air cooling material that the used steel of making comparisons in the past, the rate of cooling stove following with 40 ℃/hour (0.67 ℃/minute) is as cold as 600 ℃, after open furnace carries out air cooling then, test material with the fast skin section of rate of cooling wherein is an invention steel-1, the test material of the central part that rate of cooling is slow is a steel of the present invention-2, and be as cold as 500 ℃ with 40 ℃/hour (0.67 ℃/minute) following rate of cooling stove, after open furnace carries out air cooling then, be steel of the present invention-3 with its skin section.
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3 expression structure observation result.The air cooling material of comparative steel is shown as the bainite homogeneous structure, and in steel of the present invention, the area ratio of bainite phase reduces, and the ratio of ferrite/pearlitic structrure increases.The skin section (steel 1 of the present invention) of the area ratio of bainite phase test material of open furnace by 600 ℃ time the, central part (steel 2 of the present invention), the order of the skin section (steel 3 of the present invention) of the test material of open furnace reduces 500 ℃ the time, and the area ratio of bainite phase roughly depends on rate of cooling as can be known.Zero for bainite is close, the rate of cooling that preferred 40 ℃/hour (0.67 ℃/minute) is following, and below 500 ℃ stove is being opened wide.
Table 3
Fig. 2 represents the result with minimum creep rate in Larsen-Miller parameter (Larson Miller Parameter:LMP) arrangement creep experiments.Larsen-Miller parameter is represented with following formula.
LMP=(273+T)×(20-logA)/1000
(in the formula, T represents temperature (unit: ℃), and A represents minimum creep rate (unit: mm/mm/Hr).)
By following formula as can be known, the more little LMP of minimum creep rate is big more, so show in Fig. 2 the creep strain speed of turning right more more little (creep strain is little).At stress is 20kg/mm
2The above region of high stress, the creep strain speed of comparative steel is little, and still, the low stress area below that is particularly at 10kg/mm
2Below, order reverses, and the creep strain speed of steel of the present invention is relatively little.That is, demonstrate at 10kg/mm
2Following low stress area, ferrite/pearlitic structrure more helps reducing creep strain speed with respect to bainite structure.Even in steel of the present invention, think that also creep strain rate changes along with the variation of the area ratio of bainite phase, has the tendency that bainite phase area rate is more little, creep strain speed is more little.
Fig. 3 represents to resolve the comparison that the crooked amount of dividing plate is done by the three-dimensional creep of using above-mentioned creep data.At this, the crooked relatively amount of the longitudinal axis, expression is 1 o'clock crooked relatively amount with the crooked amount of comparative steel running after 300000 hours.
The crooked amount of dividing plate (the crooked amount of creep) as shown in Figure 4.Dividing plate is that the outer ring is fixed on the structure on the unit room, with respect to the vapor stream direction in downstream side generation creep strain.The inner ring of this dividing plate is the crooked amount of creep to the amount of downflow direction distortion.In practical measurement,, measure the crooked amount of the end rear flow side of week in the inner ring with the installation base portion of the downstream side reference point before as distortion.
Steel of the present invention is as can be known compared with comparative steel, and the crooked amount of creep is little, and particularly timeliness is with low uncertainty.And, turning round, the crooked relatively amount of steel of the present invention reduces significantly after 300000 hours, be about comparative steel crooked relatively amount 15%~46%, if reduce so far, can positively avoid contacting of rotor and dividing plate in projected life at equipment, the continuous running of the steam turbine of reality is not had obstacle.Therefore, it is very high to have used the steam turbine reliability of dividing plate of the present invention.
The crooked relatively amount after Fig. 5 represents to turn round 300000 hours and the relation of the bainite amount of separating out mutually.The area ratio of bainite phase is big more as can be known, and crooked relatively amount has the tendency of increase more, in order to reach the crooked relatively amount as half of the comparative steel of target, as long as the area ratio of control bainite phase (is comprising zero) 40% below.And, if can reach crooked relatively amount, can avoid contacting of rotor and dividing plate in projected life at equipment as half of the comparative steel of target, make the stable running of steam turbine.
Confirmed that more than if control the rate of cooling of the annealing in process of 2.25%Cr-1%Mo steel, the area ratio of control bainite phase then can reduce crooked relatively amount significantly below 40%.
