Feb 7, 2013 Dinner Meeting
Puget Sound American Welding Society is Proud to Host:
Material Processes and Quality Considerations for C12A castings
The power generation industry is looking for new materials that can withstand the higher temperatures needed to
increase their efficiency. P91 (C12A cast name) was developed by Oak Ridge Nation Labs for use in nuclear power
plants, especially BWR where steam temperatures are over 900F. This talk will focus on Material Processes and
Quality Considerations for development of this new cast material including foundry issues, welding practices, keeping
the nitrogen in solution, developing good microstructure and hydrogen embrittlement. These issues may be easy for
pipe and wrought materials, which are typically less than 4” thick, but they are quite different for a foundry producing
C12A castings that are over 8 inches thick.
Speaker
