Ia. Borisov et al., TECHNOLOGICAL AND OPERATIONAL PROPERTIES OF STEELS FOR WELDED TURBINEROTORS, Metal science and heat treatment, 40(1-2), 1998, pp. 14-18
Welded turbine rotors are commonly produced from steels 34KhMA and 32K
hMIA. Since the unit power of the rotors has increased from 300 to 120
0 MW, these steels no longer satisfy the requirements for rotor materi
als where: their strength and hardenability are concerned. It became n
ecessary to develop new deeply hardening and well weldable high-streng
th steels. The present paper concerns the results of an all-around ana
lysis of the mechanical properties and weldability of industrially mol
ten metals.
