Abstract

A high-temperature piping product is configured from a plurality of primary pipe members and a welding material. The primary pipe members are each made from an Ni-based forged alloy containing: Ni, Al, and at least one of Mo and W. The total content of the Mo and the W being 3-8 mass %. The Ni-based forged alloy exhibiting a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of from 920 to 970° C., and the γ′ phase being precipitated in 30 volume % or more in a temperature range of from 700 to 800° C. The welding material is made from an Ni-based cast alloy having a cast structure formed by welding. The Ni-based cast alloy containing: Ni, Al, and at least one of Mo and W, the total content of the Mo and the W being 9-15 mass %, the Ni-based cast alloy exhibiting a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of from 850 to 900° C.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A high-temperature piping product for flowing a high-temperature fluid, configured from a plurality of primary pipe members and a welding material,
wherein the primary pipe members are each made from an Ni-based forged alloy which contains Ni, Al, and at least one of Mo and W, the total content of the Mo and the W being 3 mass % or more and 8 mass % or less, and the Ni-based forged alloy having a γ′ phase precipitated therein in 30 volume % or more in which the precipitated γ′ phase has a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of from 920 to 970° C. and a precipitation characteristic of 30 volume % or more in a temperature range of from 700 to 800° C.,
wherein the welding material is made from an Ni-based cast alloy having a cast structure formed by welding, the Ni-based cast alloy containing Ni, Al, and at least one of Mo and W, the total content of the Mo and the W being 9 mass % or more and 15 mass % or less, and the Ni-based cast alloy having another γ′ phase precipitated therein in 20 volume % or more in which the another precipitated γ′ phase has a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of from 850 to 900° C. and a precipitation characteristic of 20 volume % or more in a temperature range of from 700 and 800° C., and
wherein the welding material is buttered to the primary pipe members in portions welded to each other.

2. A boiler for power plants, the boiler comprising the high-temperature piping product according to claim 1 .

3. The high-temperature piping product according to claim 1 ,
wherein the Ni-based forged alloy contains: Al of 3.5 mass % or more and 4.5 mass % or less; Cr of 15 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less; Co of 25 mass % or less; C of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.15 mass % or less; at least one of Mo and W in a total content of 3 mass % to 8 mass %; and Ni and unavoidable impurities accounting for the remainder, and
wherein the Ni-based cast alloy contains: Al of 3 mass % or more and 3.5 mass % or less; Cr of 15 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less; Co of 25 mass % or less; C of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.15 mass % or less; at least one of Mo and W in a total content of 9 mass % to 15 mass %; and Ni and unavoidable impurities accounting for the remainder.

4. A boiler for power plants, the boiler comprising the high-temperature piping product according to claim 3 .

5. A method for producing the high-temperature piping product according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
a secondary pipe member forming step of welding the primary pipe members to each other with the welding material buttered to welding portions of the primary pipe members and forming secondary pipe members each constructed from the plurality of primary pipe members; and
a high-temperature piping product forming step of welding the secondary pipe members to each other with the welding material buttered to welding portions of the secondary pipe members and forming a high-temperature piping product.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising a pre-aging heat treatment step of subjecting the secondary pipe members to a heat treatment at a temperature equal to or greater than the γ′-phase dissolution temperature of the Ni-based cast alloy and at a temperature equal to or less than the γ′-phase dissolution temperature of the Ni-based forged alloy to precipitate 5 volume % or more and 15 volume % or less of the γ′ phase in the primary pipe members, the pre-aging heat treatment step being performed after the secondary pipe member forming step and before the high-temperature piping product forming step.

7. A method for producing the high-temperature piping product according to claim 3 , the method comprising:
a secondary pipe member forming step of welding the primary pipe members to each other with the welding material buttered to welding portions of the primary pipe members and forming secondary pipe members each constructed from the plurality of primary pipe members; and
a high-temperature piping product forming step of welding the secondary pipe members to each other with the welding material buttered to welding portions of the secondary pipe members and forming a high-temperature piping product.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising a pre-aging heat treatment step of subjecting the secondary pipe members to a heat treatment at a temperature equal to or greater than a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of the Ni-based cast alloy and at a temperature equal to or less than a γ′-phase dissolution temperature of the Ni-based forged alloy to precipitate 5 volume % or more and 15 volume % or less of the γ′ phase in the primary pipe members, the pre-aging heat treatment step being performed after the secondary pipe member forming step and before the high-temperature piping product forming step.
