Abstract
There is provided a property recovering method which can be applied to a high-temperature member whose properties such as strength and ductility have been deteriorated by the long-term use at a high temperature to recover its properties to those before the use, enable its reuse, and contribute to the effective use of resources and the conservation of environment. A Ni-base heat resistant alloy having a particular composition, whose properties have been deteriorated by heat history, is subjected to first-stage solution treatment, in which the alloy is held at a temperature of 1175 to 1225° C. for 1 to 5 hours and then furnace-cooled, then subjected to second-stage solution treatment, in which the alloy is held at a temperature of 1115 to 1165° C. for 1 to 5 hours and then air-cooled, and further subjected to aging treatment, in which the alloy is held at a temperature of 810 to 860° C. for 22 to 26 hours.
