  • Patent number: 6669441
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas turbine for a turbocharger includes a rotor mounted rotatably in a turbine casing having a spiral inlet duct which is followed by an annular space surrounding the rotor. A guide-blade cascade is capable of being pushed axially into the annular space near the outer circumference of the rotor. The guide-blade cascade includes guide blades, is guided in an annular gap between an inner part and the turbine casing and is axially displaceable via an axial slide by a sliding sleeve. The guide-blade cascade with the axial slide, the inner part and/or the sliding sleeve are produced from an austenitic cast steel material having the following components: C≦0.2%; Si 1.5-2.5%; Mn≦2.00%; P≦0.045%; S≦0.03%; Cr 24.0-26.0%; Ni 19-22%; and W≦5%.
