STEAM TURBINE AND TURBINE ROTOR
(CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED
APPLICATIONS
‘This application is based upon and claims the benefit of
priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-
121411, fled on Apr. 26, 2006; the entire contents of which
ate incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
|. Field ofthe Invention
‘The present invention relates to a steam turbine and a
turbine rotor, more particularly, to a steam turbine and &
turbine rotor allowing the use of high-temperature steam at
620° C. or higher,
2, Description ofthe Related Art
For most of high-temperature parts in theemal power gen=
‘eration facilities, ferrite heat resistant steels excelleat i
‘manufacturing performance and economic efficiency have
been used, A steam turbine of such a conventional thermal
power generation fciliy is generally under asteam tempera-
‘ure condition on order of not higher than 600° Cand there-
Joe, ts major omponents sucha a turbine rotorand moving
blades aro made of feeitic heat resistant ste!
However, in recent years, improvement in efficiency of
thermal power generation facilities have been actively pro-
moted from a viewpoint of environmental protection, and
steam turbines utilizing high-temperaturesteam at bout 600°
Care operated. Such a steam trbine inchides components
requiring characteristics that cannot be satisfied by character-
istics of the fervtic heat esistant steel, and therefore, these
‘components are sometimes made ofa heat resistant alloy oF
‘austenite heat resistant tee more excellent in high-tempera-
ture resistance,
For example, JP-A 7.247806 (KOKAD, JP-A 2000-
282808 (KOKA, and Japanese Patent No. 3095745 deserbe
arts to construct a steam turbine power generation Laeilty
‘withthe minimum use of an austenitic material fora steam,
‘urbine uilizing high-temperature seu a 6$0° Co higher
For example, in the steam turbine power generation facility
“described in JP-A 2000-282808 (KOKAL},a superhigh-pres-
sure turbine, a high-pressure turbine, an inteemeiatepres-
sure turbine, a low-pressure turbine, a second low-pressure
turbine, and a generator are uniaxially connected, and the
super high-pressure turbine and the high-pressure urine are
assembled in the same outer easing snd thus ane independent
from the others,
Further, in view of global environmental protection, a ned
for higher efficieney enabling a reduction in emissions of
(CO, SOx, and NOx is currently increasing. One of the most
effective plans to enhance plant thermal efficiency in a ther-
‘mal power generation facility is to increase steam tempen-
‘ure, and the development of steam turbine on ord of 700°
(Cv is under consideration,
