Guideline for Welding P(T) 91


William F. Newell, Jr., PE*

1.0 ABSTRACT
Factors affecting use, development, and procurement of Modified Grade 91 welding consumables for heavy wall applications are the focus of this report. Differences in technical approach between domestic and European producers and users are provided, particularly in composition variances. Prior and current activities are highlighted as well as progress to date in obtaining suitable fabricated wires with acceptable mechanical and operational properties.

Guideline for Welding P91 in obtaining suitable fabricated wires with acceptable mechanical and operational properties.
The effects of composition, post weld heat treatment times and temperatures plus practical implementation factors as they relate to creep and toughness are examined. Availability and procurement considerations are also discussed. As we learn more about this alloy, it is becoming clear that P(T)91 should not be treated as just another CrMo steel . The alloy requires considerable care during joining to assure acceptable long term properties. (1)

2.0 INTRODUCTION (2-11)


Development of the Grade 91 or 9 chromium - 1 molybdenum steels microalloyed with vanadium, niobium(columbium) and controlled nitrogen is the result of research conducted at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor and later carried out by Combustion Engineering and others during the late 1970s. However, the super 9 chrome alloys were initially evaluated for power boiler use between 1955 and 1960 at the Center for Metallurgical Research of Liege in Belgium. This early work resulted in a 9Cr-2Mo alloy with additions niobium and vanadium. Aconcerning parallel effort, but foralloy different reasons, was conducted by the of Timken Corporation (USA) use of the family for bearing applications. The high temperature creep resistance of the generic 9Cr 2Mo alloy appeared ideal for increasing operating temperatures and efficiency plus reduction of wall thickness for many fossil fueled power applications. IlectricitJ de France approved a product produced by Vallourec (France) named EM12 in 1964 for use in superheater and reheat superheater o o applications up to temperatures of 620 C (1148 F). Approval was based on creep rupture tests of 760,000 hours on nine commercial heats. As of 1978, test data up to 200,000 hours was available. EM12 was also a candidate in 1978 for steam generator components in the European Fast Breeder Program. Even though EM12 provides satisfactory service in superheater tubing, the duplex structure results in low impact strength thus limiting the material to use in thin sections. Over 9,000 tons of EM12 tubes have been installed, with many still in use on a world wide basis. In the late 1960s, German steel makers developed a 12 Chrome steel grade for high temperature applications to compete with EM12. This material, X20CrMoV12 1, was commonly referred to as X20. The primary advantage of the X20 material was its martensitic structure which permitted use in heavy sections or thick walled piping systems.

The creep rupture strength above 520 C (968 F) proved inferior to the EM12, but even more important, X20 exhibited poor weldability due to of its elevated carbon content. Other competitive alloys such as the Swedish HT9 and Japanese HCM 9M were produced, but were not as widely used as EM12 or X20. In 1974, a task force was initiated by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to select materials for the LMFBR (Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor) Program. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), assisted by Combustion Engineering, initiated a program to develop a 9Cr-1Mo steel that included all of the advantages of the EM12 and X 20 alloys plus eliminated the disadvantages. The orginal service temperature called for this material to provide strength at 5120C (9700F) and toughness of 54J (40 ft-lbs) at room temperatue for selected liquid sodium coolant components. Creep resistance, weldability and the ability to commercially produce the alloy were considerations. Toughnessand was the primary consideration. By 1980, over 100 base metal test heats had been formulated tested. The resulting composition of the Modified 9Cr-1Mo (later T/P91) is shown in Table 2. Multiple refining operations in the steel making practice were found to be required to achieve the controlled composition. Table 2.

Guideline for Welding P91

The first set of Modified 9Cr-1Mo test tubes were installed in May 1980 in superheater sections of the TVA Kingston Unit 5 station, replacing TP321 stainless steel tubing. Modified 9Cr-1Mo was recognized for tubing by ASTM as A213, Grade T91, in 1983. Use of the material for piping and headers was approved by ASTM (and ASME) as A/SA-335, Grade P91 in 1984. A European (German) equivalent is DIN 1.4903, Grade or Type X10 CrMo.V.Nb 91. - 2 -

Figure 1. illustrates a comparison of wall thickness for various alloys for a given elevated temperature, pressure and European allowable strengths. Note that nearly a 2:1 reduction in wall thickness (61mm versus 132mm) is possible where Modified Grade 91 or P(T)91 (herein referred to as P91) is used in place of P22 material. The material provides an increase of 44 to 170% in allowable strength in the 5100C (9500F) to 5930C (11000F) temperature range. The 0 0 oxidation limit is also 38 C (100 F) above typical Grade 22 materials. Grade 91 also offers 0 0 higher allowable strengths over type 304H up to 610 c (1130 F).

Guideline for Welding P91


Thousands of tons of P91 materials are in use worldwide. Until about 1998, most installations or retrofits, however, have not been in the United States. Three major reasons were initially cited by domestic fabricators and end users for not using the P91 material: 1. The material is not readily available or is a special order (when the ORNL Composition is specified) 2. All welds require post weld heat treat, regardless of thickness or diameter 3. Installation and heat treatment of dissimilar weldments (e.g., P22 to P(T)91) can be complex in either shop or field applications. Except for some selected Japanese variations, a consensus was observed concerning the base material, regardless of product form. The ORNL base metal composition was and is being produced and used in accordance with nationally recognized material specifications. Weld metal composition usage and specification, on the other hand, exhibit two distinctly different schools of thought: low nickel (0.4 max. per ORNL/CE) versus high nickel (~ 0.6 to 0.8 in Europe, plus tolerance for up to 0.5 silicon). Currently, most of the consumables for welding P(T)91 components (hereafter referred to as P91) are produced overseas, due to greater use, and vary from the original ORNL recommendations. Increased levels of nickel and silicon or nickel + manganese limitations are observed over those in the ORNL specifications. Nickel is elevated to enhance toughness, but Ni+Mn limitations are utilized to ensure that the A C1 transformation temperature is maintained at a level sufficient to permit proper tempering. Minor increases in the silicon level are desired - 3 -
