Abstract:The rotor is the most important component of ultra-supercritical steam turbines. The development of rotor materials and forgings are crucial for the improvement of ultra-supercritical turbines and coal-fired units technology. With the steam temperature for ultra-supercritical units increasing from 620 ℃ to 630 ℃, and even to 650 ℃ and 700 ℃ in the future, research of heat-resistant materials and forgings for high-medium pressure rotors of steam turbines will be one important challenges. The development history, alloy design methods and status of heat-resistant materials for ultra-supercritical steam turbine rotors are summarized. Meanwhile, the latest research progress of independent developed heat-resistant materials C630R, C650R, C700R and their forgings for high-medium pressure rotors of 630-700 ℃ ultra-supercritical steam turbine is mainly introduced. Finally, some future research emphases are proposed in order to promote the completely autonomous process of ultra-supercritical steam turbine in China.
