Abstract
In an oxide dispersion strengthened martensitic steel which comprises, by % by weight, 0.05 to 0.25% C, 8.0 to 12.0% Cr, 0.1 to 4.0% W, 0.1 to 1.0% Ti, 0.1 to 0.5% YOwith the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities and in which YOparticles are dispersed in the steel, by adjusting the Ti content within the range of 0.1 to 1.0% so that an excess oxygen content Ex.O in steel satisfies [0.22×Ti (% by weight)<Ex.O (% by weight)<0.46×Ti (% by weight)], the oxide particles are finely dispersed and highly densified to thereby obtain an oxide dispersion strengthened martensitic steel excellent in high-temperature strength. It is also possible to reduce the amount of oxygen contamination in steel during the mechanical alloying of raw material powders to provide Ex.O within a predetermined range, by carrying out the mechanical alloying in an Ar atmosphere having a super purity of not less than 99.9999%, by reducing stirring energy during the mechanical alloying or by using a metal Y powder or an FeY powder in place of the YOpowder.
