Use of a heat-resisting cast steel

摘要

This invention provides a heat-resisting cast steel which is a high-Cr steel material having excellent high-temperature strength and hence suitable for use as a high-temperature steam turbine casing material capable of being used even at a steam temperature of 600°C or above. This heat-resisting cast steel contains, on a weight percentage basis, 0.07 to 0.15% carbon, 0.05 to 0.30% silicon, 0.01 to 0.1% manganese, 8 to 10% chromium, 0.01 to 0.2% nickel, 0.1 to 0.3% vanadium, a total of 0.01 to 0.2% niobium and tantalum, 0.1 to 0.7% molybdenum, 1 to 2.5% tungsten, 0.1 to 5% cobalt, 0.001 to 0.03% nitrogen and 0.002 to 0.010% boron, the balance being iron and incidental impurities.
