Abstract

Abstract A high-strength high-Cr ferritic, heat-resistant steel exhibiting improved high-temperature, long-term creep strength and a process for producing the same are disclosed. The steel consists essentially of, by weight %: ______________________________________ C: not more than 0.2%, Si: not more than 1.0%, Mn: 0.1-1.5%, P: not more than 0.03%, S: not more than 0.03%, Ni: not more than 1.0%, Cr: 5.0-15%, Mo: 0.02-3.0%, W: not more than 4.0%, sol. Al: 0.05-0.04%, N: not more than 0.07%, ______________________________________ at least one of V: 0.01-0.4% and Nb: 0.01-0.3%, B: 0-0.02%, at least one of Ca, Ti, Zr, Y, La, and Ce: 0-0.2%, and the balance Fe and incidental impurities, A cl point defined by Formula (1) below being 820 or higher. ##EQU1##
