Abstract

SUMMARY Qualification of the advanced austenitic stainless steel material Alloy 709 for use in Section III Division 5 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is being pursued by the US Department of Energy Advanced Reactor Technology Program. Qualification of this alloy will allow its use in design and construction of components for elevated temperature nuclear reactor systems. Code qualification requires extensive characterization of three commercial scale heats of the alloy. This report describes progress in procuring the second of three required heats of Alloy 709 plate from ATI Flat Rolled Products.

A709 Qualification Plan Update and Mechanical Properties Data Assessment

Program Document Sham, Ting-Leung; Bass, Ryann; Wang, Yanli; ...

This report provides a summary of the development effort for the qualification of Alloy 709, an advanced austenitic stainless steel, in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 5, High Temperature Reactors. It provides an assessment of the mechanical properties data generated to date from the tensile, creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue tests of the precipitation-treated Alloy 709 from two commercial heats in plate product form. It was concluded that the mechanical properties of Alloy 709 with the precipitation treatment continued to outperform those of Type 316 stainless steel. This affirms the recommendationmore »« less

Alloy 709 Materials Procurement

Program Document Wright, Richard

Qualifying a new material for design and construction of elevated temperature nuclear components under Section III Division 5 of the BPVC requires measurement of a variety of properties, including tensile, creep, fatigue and creep-fatigue behavior in the relevant temperature range, and from the relevant product form, from a commercial scale heat. For the ART program the desired product form is hot rolled plate. This procurement is for a unique composition of stainless steel for which a commercial scale heat represents melting about 50,000 pounds of the alloy, resulting in about 45,000 pounds of usable plate. The Alloy 709 plate frommore »« less

A Summary of the Microstructural Characterization Results for the A709 Commercial Heats

Program Document Patterson, Tate; Wang, Yanli; Sham, Ting-Leung

To improve high temperature strength for advanced nuclear reactors, it is necessary to qualify additional structural materials for introduction into the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (AMSE) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). Specifically, Alloy 709 was identified as a material for Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors to enhance time-dependent mechanical properties compared to 316H stainless steel, a code qualified high temperature alloy. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) performed initial microstructure and mechanical property testing on a third, commercial heat of Alloy 709 stainless steel. The Alloy 709 plate was produced by Allegheny Technology Inc. (ATI) andmore »« less

Characterization of Alloy 709 Commercial Heats

Program Document Song, Rongjie; McMurtrey, Michael; Clement, Caleb

The creep-resistant austenitic stainless steel Alloy 709 (Fe-20Cr-25Ni (wt%) based steel) is being investigated as a candidate structural material for the next generation of advanced reactors. Unlike conventional solid solution strengthened austenitic stainless steels, Alloy 709 develops a variety of precipitates during aging at different temperatures and times. In this study, precipitate evolution during short-term aging at 775°C was characterized. The effect of aging time (e.g., 10 vs. 100 hours) and cooling after aging (e.g., water quench vs. air cool) on grain size and precipitates have been investigated using light optical microscopy (OM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopymore »« less

A709 Procurement and ASTM Specification Status

Program Document Wright, Richard

This is a presentation regarding A709 Procurement and ASTM Specification Status for the Joint ART Materials/AMMT Program Review meeting. The A709 team consists of Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Subject matter expert John Grubb and Richard Wright. Discussion topics will discuss incorporation of 709 into ASTM Standard A 240 for plate material in the solution annealed condition with a precipitation treatment as a supplemental requirement is underway, Incorporation of Alloy 709 into ASME, Section II, Specification SA 240 will be made upon the completion of the ASTM task, The required commercial scale heats ofmore »« less
