This report describes the development, calibration, and validation of an inelastic constitutive model describing the monotonic, cyclic, and creep behavior of Alloy 617 from room temperature to 983 °C . The model is intended for incorporation into a new Nonmandatory Appendix to Section III, Division 5, Subsection HB, Subpart B of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code providing guidance on developing models for use with the ASME design by inelastic analysis provisions as well as a listing of acceptable material models for each Class A material that designers can use without further validation. The report described the development of the A617 model as well as providing an updated draft appendix, ready for ASME ballot, incorporating the A617 and and the previously-developed 316H model. The development of this appendix and the related material models will promote the widespread application of the generally more efficient inelastic analysis rules rules.
