2.2.6.1 Introduction

1Cr-1Mo-V steel forgings have been used as rotors for steam turbines during the application of high
temperature steam in the 1950s. The manufacturing technologies of 1Cr-1Mo-V steel forgings have been
investigated for turbine rotors of large size. The establishment of most suitable heat treatment conditions
was important in order to obtain excellent creep properties for this steel. Because the microstructure
changes during creep, these changes and the effecting factors on creep behavior have been studied. The
performance of turbine rotors was improved by the development of manufacturing technology for high
purity forgings.

2.2.6.2 Material standards, chemical and tensile requirements

Material standard for 1Cr-1Mo-V steel forgings for turbine rotors and shafts is ASTM A470-94a, class 8.
