Alloy 709 Materials Procurement
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 from this purchase will be provided to INL, Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory for characterization of the relevant properties to support Code qualification.
