Outline of Research at the Start

先行するFe-Ge-Ni三元系状態図に関する研究で,L12規則構造を有するγ’-(Fe,Ni)3Ge強化相とfcc固溶体相がFe-rich組成の相平衡が発見され, Ni基超合金同様のγ/γ’二相cuboidal組織が得られている.この合金は,現存する耐熱鋼より遙かに優れる高温強度を示していが,耐酸化性の不足や高温域でのγ’相の安定性の低下など実用上の諸問題が存在し,コストの観点から,Ge使用量を削減することも課題である.この研究は,γ’相安定性,力学特性及び耐酸化性に与える添加元素(Cr, Si, Al, Mo, W等)の影響を統括的に評価し,高温強度に優れ且つ廉価なFe基超合金の開発に挑む.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we proposed a practical approach to design a novel Fe-base superalloy strengthened by L12-(Fe,Ni)3Ge in Fe-Ni-Ge and its alloyed multi-component system. The novel Fe-base superalloy exhibits a truly Ni-base superalloy-like gamma/gamma' two phase microstructure and is thus excepted for high-temperature structural use. We investigated the effects of alloying addition of Cr, Si, Al, W, Mo on the mechanical properties as well as the oxidation resistance of the alloy. We also found a way to reduce the use of the expensive metal Ge by substituting part of the Ge with Si.
On the other hand, however, the high-temperature strength, in particular higher than 750C is still a issue to be resolved, due to the decreasing of the gamma' strengthening phase at high temperatures.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は人類試料で最も汎用且つ廉価な構造材料「鉄」をベースに、高温構造材料として大成功を収めたNi基超合金の微細構造を再現させることで、廉価で高強度の新規高温構造材料の可能性を提示した。本研究で開発したプロトタイプ合金は、700℃の高温でも室温と同レベルの強度を有し、使用温度700℃、即ち火力発電の超超臨界(A-USC)条件を満たす可能性が現れた。学術的には、Ni基、Co基のほかにγ/γ'二相超合金を設計しうる新規の合金系を提案するとともに、社会的には、新規材料により現行する耐熱鋼を代替し、火力発電の効率向上および温室ガスの排出削減に貢献すると予測する。
