Abstract

Contamination of steel by excessive amount of non metallic inclusions leads tosignificant deterioration of its quality and consequent degradation. Cause of degradation of forgedrotors for steam turbines made of NiCrMoV steel grade is examined in this paper. Metallographicand electron-microscopic analyses were performed, including X-ray microanalysis for detecting thepurity of the forging being examinated. Concurrently, the consequence of failed technologicalproduction process, namely the influence of broken brick for argon blowing at the casting ladle, wasalso examined.
