In 1974, a task force was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to select materia

47、ls for the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor Program (LMFBR). ORNL assisted by Combustion Engineering, initiated a program to develop a 9Cr-1Mo steel for 512 C (970 F) service temperature and with toughness of 54 J (40 ft-lbs) at room temperature 36, 37. This was achieved through the controlled addi

48、tions of vanadium (V), Nb and nitrogen (N) to become Grade 91. Later, the carbon content in Grade 91 was lowered to the range of 0.08 % to 0.12 % from 0.15 % maximum specified for the standard 9Cr-1Mo steel.In the 1980s, it was recognized that the elevated temperature mechanical properties of Grade

49、91 made it a viable candidate for utility boiler applications. Code Case 1943 20 approved on July 20, 1983, permitted the use of Grade 91 for Section I construction. The 9Cr-1Mo-V alloy steels are now included in Section II, Part D for ASME Section VIII, Division 1 2, applications up to 649 C (1200 F) but their use is not permitted in ASME Section VIII, Division 2 4, except as allowed by Code Case 1973-2 22. This alloy also has allowable stresses about 50 % higher than standard 9Cr-1Mo alloy steel for temperatures up to 510 C (950 F) and the difference is significantly m
