This invention relates to high-Cr precision casting materials containing
carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, vanadium, niobium, nitrogen,
molybdenum, tungsten, cobalt and optionally boron in specific weight
proportions, the balance being iron and incidental impurities, as well as
turbine blades made by a precision casting process using these materials.
Thus, the present invention provides high-Cr precision casting materials
which are capable of precision casting and, moreover, have excellent
high-temperature strength, as well as inexpensive and highly reliable
turbine blades made by using these casting materials and such turbine
blades also having lighter weight.
