Case 2276-1 Austenitic Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb Alloy (UNS N06626) Section VIII, Division 1 Inquiry: May austenitic Ni-Cr-Mo-Nb alloy (UNS N06626), up to and including 0.100 in. in thickness, wrought sheet and strip, welded pipes, welded tubes, and welded ttings with the chemical analysis shown in Table 1, the minimum mechanical properties shown in Table 2, and the grain size requirements shown in Table 3 be used in welded construction under the rules of Section VIII, Division 1? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the material described in the Inquiry may be used in Section VIII, Division 1 construction up to a design temperature of

800F, provided the following additional requirements are met. (a) The rules in Section VIII, Division 1 that shall apply are those given in Part UNF for nickel alloys. (b) The maximum allowable stress values for the material shall be those given in Table 4. For welded pipes, tubes, and ttings, a joint efciency factor of 0.85 shall be used. (c) Material shall conform to all other requirements of SB-443, SB-704, SB-705, and SB-366, as applicable. (d) Material shall be considered as P-No. 43.

NOTES: (1) The revised criterion of 3.5 on tensile strength was used in establishing these values. (2) Due to the relatively low yield strength of this material, these higher stress values were established at temperatures where the short time tensile properties govern to permit the use of this alloy where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. The stress values in this range exceed 6623%, but do not exceed 90% of the yield strength at temperature. Use of these stresses may result in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress values are not recommended for the anges of gasketed joints or other applications where slight amounts of distortion can cause leakage or malfunction.

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.
