Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A steam turbine vane manufacturing method including: a groove processing step for forming a protective part joint surface on a steam turbine vane material that has been subjected to rough processing; a build-up welding step for forming, by build-up welding, a protective part build-up bead on the protective part joint surface; and a processing step for performing processing, by cutting the first steam turbine vane material that has been subjected to rough processing and the protective part build-up bead, to finish the first steam turbine vane material has been subjected to rough processing so that the first steam turbine vane material becomes a second steam turbine vane material that has been subjected to finishing processing. The first steam turbine vane material that has been subjected to rough processing is larger than the second steam turbine vane material that has been subjected to finishing processing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A steam turbine vane manufacturing method comprising: a forging step of manufacturing a first steam turbine vane material after forging by forging the first steam turbine vane material; a groove processing step of forming a protective part joint surface in the first steam turbine vane material after forging; a build-up welding step of forming a protective part build-up bead on the protective part joint surface by build-up welding; a rough processing step of cutting the first steam turbine vane material after forging which is formed with the protective part build-up bead, and forming the first steam vane material into a second steam turbine vane material after rough processing; and a finishing processing step of performing finishing processing such that a steam turbine vane which is smaller than the second steam turbine vane material is formed by cutting a majority of a surface of the second steam turbine vane material after rough processing including cutting a majority of a surface of the protective part build-up bead along with the second steam turbine vane material. 2. The steam turbine vane manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a polishing step of polishing the steam turbine vane after the finishing processing step. 3. The steam turbine vane manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: an aging treatment step of performing aging treatment on the second steam turbine vane material along with the protective part build-up bead before the finishing processing step is carried out. 4. The steam turbine vane manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a coining step of coining the first steam turbine vane material after the forging step. 5. The steam turbine vane manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a coining and hot straightening step of coining and hot straightening the first steam turbine vane material after the forging step.
