Title: Initial High Temperature Inelastic Constitutive Model for Alloy 617

Abstract

This report describes progress on a Alloy 617 inelastic constitutive model slated for inclusion in the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code in Code Case N-898 “Use of Alloy 617 (UNS N06617) for Class A Elevated Temperature Construction, Section III, Division 5” as part of an appendix on inelastic modeling. This appendix will provide a reference material model for A617 for use in conjunction with the ASME design by inelastic analysis criteria. This report focuses on the implementation and evaluation of an existing Alloy 617 model developed to represent the data collected at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as part of the Alloy 617 Code Case experimental campaign. While the model accurately captures the cyclic stress/strain behavior of Alloy 617, it fails to capture the long-term creep and lower temperature tensile data. In addition, the model form is complicated and has over 50 configurable parameters. As such, we recommend the development of a simplified model, incorporating key features of the ORNL model but reducing the model complexity.
