HAYNES® 230® and 617 alloys are competing for use on Generation IV, high temperaturegas cooled reactor components because of good high temperature creep strength in the temperaturerange between 760°C and 982°C and resistance to oxidation in the gas cooled reactor environment.A review of the metallurgy affecting the properties in each alloy will be discussed. Grain size andcarbide precipitation developed during fabrication effect short term and long term ductility, fatigue,and creep. For example, 230 alloy has a finer grained structure which promotes fatigue strengthwith a slight sacrifice in creep strength. The 617 alloy has a coarser grain structure which providesslightly higher creep resistance while sacrificing some fatigue strength. Thermal aging alsointroduces gamma prime precipitation to the 617 alloy as well as grain boundary carbides, and this,in addition to grain boundary oxidation, reduces the low cycle fatigue strength of 617 alloycompared to 230 alloy. Independent studies have shown that 230 alloy possesses higher resistanceto thermal fatigue than 617 alloy. However, welds of both base metals with similar weldcomposition have about the same thermal fatigue life. Cooling rates from solution annealingtemperatures during processing effect the ductility and creep strength of these alloys with thehighest cooling rates preferred for retention of ductility and creep strength. The reason; slowcooling rates promote carbide precipitation in the grain boundaries which reduces ductility andcreep strength
