This specification covers **vacuum treated and differentially heat treated alloy steel forgings for turbine rotors**.
Materials shall be manufactured by melting process, heat treatment (consisting of *normalizing and tempering* to achieve creep resistance in the high pressure portion, and *quenching and tempering* to achieve high toughness in the low pressure portion), rough machining, and boring.
Heat and product analyses shall be performed to evaluate conformance of the steel to required chemical compositions.
Tension and impact tests shall also be executed to make sure that forgings adhere to tensile and notch toughness requirements, including:
Final products shall be free of cracks, seams, laps, shrinkage, and other injurious imperfections.
To evaluate such imperfections, nondestructive tests, such as *ultrasonic* and *internal inspection procedures*, may be conducted at the preference of the purchaser.
Forgings that do not meet the requirements specified, may be retreated one or more times, but not more than three additional times.
1.1 This specification covers vacuum treated, alloy steel forgings, differentially heat treated for turbine rotors.
1.2 Differential heat treatment of a rotor forging involves subjecting two portions of the forging concurrently to two different austenitizing temperatures followed by two different cooling rates for normalizing and quenching, and then tempering, to achieve creep resistance in the high pressure (HP) portion and high toughness in the low pressure (LP) portion.2
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
