Case 2180-5 Seamless 12Cr-2W Material Sections I and VIII, Division 1 Inquiry: May 12Cr-2W seamless tubes, pipes, plate, and forgings with the chemical analysis shown in Table 1, and minimum mechanical properties as shown in Table 2 that otherwise conform to the specications listed in Table 3 be used for Sections I and VIII, Division 1 construction? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that 12Cr-2W seamless tubes, pipes, plate, and forgings with the chemical analysis shown in Table 1, and minimum mechanical properties as shown in Table 2 that otherwise conform to the specications listed in Table 3 be used for Sections I and VIII, Division 1 construction, provided the following requirements are met: (a) The material shall be austenitized within the temperature range of 1900F to 1975F (1040C to 1080C), followed by air cooling or accelerated cooling, and tempered within the range of 1350F to 1470F (730C to 800C). (b) The material shall not exceed a Brinell Hardness Number of 250 (Rockwell C 25). (c) The maximum allowable stress values for the material shall be those given in Table 4. (d) Separate weld procedure and performance qualications conducted in accordance with Section IX shall be required for this material. Postweld heat treatment for this

material is mandatory, and the following rules shall apply: (1) The time requirements shall be those given for P-No. 15E, Group 1 materials in Tables PW-39 and UCS-56 for Sections I and VIII, Division 1, respectively. (2) The PWHT temperature range shall be 1350F to 1470F (730C to 800C). (e) For Section VIII, Division 1 applications, all requirements of Part UCS shall apply. (f) Except as provided in para. (g) if during the manufacturing any portion of the component is heated to a temperature greater than 1470F (800C), then the component must be reaustenitized and retempered in its entirety in accordance with para. (a) or that portion of the component heated above 1470F (800C), including the Heat-Affected Zone created by the local heating, must be replaced, or must be removed, reaustenitized, and retempered, and then replaced in the component. (g) If the allowable stress values to be used are less than or equal to those provided in Table 1A of Section II, Part D for Grade 9 (SA-213 T9, SA-335 P9, or equivalent product specications) at the design temperature, then the requirements of para. (e) may be waived provided that the portion of the component heated to a temperature greater than 1470F (800C) is reheat treated within the temperature range 1350F to 1425F (730C to 775C). (h) This Case number shall be shown on the Manufacturers Data Report. (i) This Case number shall be shown in the material certication and marking of the material.

The Committees function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations or other relevant documents.

GENERAL NOTE: The allowable stress values are based on the revised criteria of tensile strength at temperature divided by 3.5, where applicable.

GENERAL NOTE: The above table gives the computed minimum elongation values for each 132 in. decrease in wall thickness. Where the wall thickness lies between two values shown above, the minimum elongation value shall be determined by the following equation:

E p 32t + 1.00
where

E p elongation in 2 in., % t p actual thickness of specimen, in.
