Abstract COST-FB2 steel is commonly used in the turbine rotors of ultra-supercritical power plants owing to its excellent high temperature creep strength. The samples used in this work were cut from the body area of a 20-ton of COST-FB2 steel forging rotor that China independently developed. Quenching at different temperatures and two-step tempering were realized for the heat treatment of COST-FB2 steel. Then, the mechanical properties of the steel were tested, and the effect of quenching temperature on the microstructure of COST-FB2 steel was characterized. The results demonstrate that when the quenching temperature increased from 1 000 ℃ to 1 150 ℃, the hardness and the strength of COST-FB2 steel increased continuously while the plasticity varied slightly and the impact energy first increased from 10 J to 23.5 J but then decreased. When the quenching temperature increased from 1 000 ℃ to 1 150 ℃, the prior austenite grain (PAG) size of COST-FB2 steel increased from 65.5 μm to 212.1 μm, the block width increased from 4.75 μm to 6.04 μm, and the dislocation density increased from 4.8×109 cm-2 to 11.8×109 cm-2. Strengthening calculations helped determine that strengthening dispersion and dislocation are the primarily contributors for improving the yield strength of tempered COST-FB2 steel. Grain boundary and block boundary strengthening are superimposed with the sum of matrix strengthening, dispersion strengthening and dislocation strengthening increments. In summary, the superimposed block boundary strengthening increment corresponded to the experimentally obtained yield strength. This study can help improve the overall heat treatment of large forging rotors and domesticate them.
