FY24 progress report on A709 mechanical properties data development and A709 thermal aging status

Abstract

The report provides the status of the creep, fatigue, and creep-fatigue testing to date conducted at Idaho National Laboratory to generate the data package. This data package evaluates the material performance from three commercial heats to support the Alloy 709 qualification in American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 5. First procured heat was manufactured by G.O. Carlson with heat number 58776. Second and third heats were fabricated by ATI Specialty Rolled Products with heat numbers 529900 and 530843, respectively. A series of creep and cyclic specimens were fabricated from these three heats and tests were performed. A list of finished, ongoing, and planned test are presented for creep, fatigue, and creep-fatigue tests. Cyclic properties of three commercial heats are compared.
