Alloy 709 has been selected as the next candidate material for Section III, Division 5 qualification in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) for elevated-temperature nuclear construction. The qualification data package requires an assortment of information and material data including tensile, creep, and creep-fatigue performance at elevated temperatures from different material heats. The goal of the project is to generate a dataset to support qualification of Alloy 709 material for ASME BPVC design code. Working towards the project goal, Idaho National Laboratory needs to conduct a series of tests on three different heats to support the A709 code case development. At present, there is a gap in the data package for one of the heats: Heat number 58776 manufactured by G.O. Carlson. To address this data gap, Argonne National Laboratory transmitted five plates of A709 heat 58776 manufactured by G.O. Carlson to Idaho National Laboratory. These plates were solution annealed at 1150°C and heat treated at 775°C for 10 hours. The objective of this specification is to procure a series of creep-fatigue specimens to support the qualification data package. The creep-fatigue specimen design captures the cyclic material performance at elevated temperature. The material performance data generated from specimens machined herein will support the ASME BPVC code case development and establish design limits, and design life curves for Alloy 709 material.
