Title: Status of INL Aged A709 Mechanical Testing

Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1688795

A709 was selected to be qualified in Section III, Division 5 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are collaborating to develop and qualify A709 plate. Aging A709 to form beneficial precipitates prior to service is investigated. One tensile test, five creep-rupture tests, and eight cyclic tests have been completed on aged A709. Two creep-rupture tests are in progress.
