The alloys Haynes 230 and Inconel 617 are potential candidates for the intermediate heat exchangers (IHXs) of (very) high temperature reactors ((V)-HTRs). The behavior under corrosion of these alloys by the (V)-HTR coolant (impure helium) is an important selection criterion because it defines the service life of these components. At high temperature, the Haynes 230 is likely to develop a chromium oxide on the surface. This layer protects from the exchanges with the surrounding medium and thus confers certain passivity on metal. At very high temperature, the initial microstructure made up of austenitic grains and coarse intra- and intergranular M6C carbide grains rich in W will evolve. The M6C carbides remain and some M23C6 richer in Cr appear. Then, carbon can reduce the protective oxide layer. The alloy loses its protective coating and can corrode quickly. Experimental investigations were performed on these nickel based alloys under an impure helium flow (Rouillard, F., 2007, “Mécanismes de formation et de destruction de la couche d’oxyde sur un alliage chrominoformeur en milieu HTR,” Ph.D. thesis, Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne, France). To predict the surface reactivity of chromium under impure helium, it is necessary to determine its chemical activity in a temperature range close to the operating conditions of the heat exchangers (T≈1273 K). For that, high temperature mass spectrometry measurements coupled to multiple effusion Knudsen cells are carried out on several samples: Haynes 230, Inconel 617, and model alloys 1178, 1181, and 1201. This coupling makes it possible for the thermodynamic equilibrium to be obtained between the vapor phase and the condensed phase of the sample. The measurement of the chromium ionic intensity (I) of the molecular beam resulting from a cell containing an alloy provides the values of partial pressure according to the temperature. This value is compared with that of the pure substance (Cr) at the same temperature. These calculations provide thermodynamic data characteristic of the chromium behavior in these alloys. These activity results call into question those previously measured by Hilpert and Ali-Khan (1978, “Mass Spectrometric Studies of Alloys Proposed for High-Temperature Reactor Systems: I. Alloy IN-643,” J. Nucl. Mater., 78, pp. 265–271; 1979, “Mass Spectrometric Studies of Alloys Proposed for High-Temperature Reactor Systems: II. Inconel Alloy 617 and Nimomic Alloy PE 13,” J. Nucl. Mater., 80, pp. 126–131), largely used in the literature.

Several nickel based solid solution alloys are under consideration for application in heat exchangers for very high temperature gas cooled reactors. The principal candidates being considered for this application by the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) project are Inconel 617 and Haynes 230. While both of these alloys have an attractive combination of creep strength, fabricability, and oxidation resistance a good deal remains to be determined about their environmental resistance in the expected NGNP helium chemistry and their long term response to thermal aging. A series of experiments has been carried out in a He loop with controlled impurity chemistries within the range expected for the NGNP. The influence of oxygen partial pressure and carbon activity on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Alloys 617 and 230 has been characterized. A relatively simple phenomenological model of the environmental interaction for these alloys has been developed.

Service life analysis and design of high temperature components, such as turbine engines, needs accurate estimation of stresses and strains at failure locations. The structural integrity under these high temperature environments can be evaluated through finite element structural analysis. This requires a robust constitutive model to predict local stresses and strains. A unified viscoplastic constitutive model based on the Chaboche type nonlinear kinematic hardening rule was developed including the added features of strain range dependence, rate dependence, temperature dependence, static recovery, and a mean stress evolution. The new constitutive model was validated through critical evaluation of the simulation of a broad set of stress and strain responses of a nickel-base superalloy Haynes 230. The experimental database encompasses uniaxial strain-controlled loading histories which include isothermal low cycle creep-fatigue and anisothermal thermo-mechanical fatigue experiments at temperatures ranging from 75°F to 1800°F. Simulations from the modified model are presented to demonstrate its strengths and weaknesses, and future work is needed for developing a robust constitutive model.

The high temperature flow behavior of materials is an important basis to study their formability and to determine reasonable forming process parameters. In this work, the high temperature plane strain compression (HTPSC) tests were employed to reveal the high temperature flow behavior of Haynes 230 Ni-based superalloy under the wide range of temperatures (950°C-1200°C) and strain rates (0.01/s-10/s). The stress-strain data from the tests were applied to model the strain-compensated Arrhenius physically-based constitutive equation and considering the dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) phenomenological constitutive equation. The comparison indicated that the predictions of the two modeled constitutive equations are in good agreement with the experimental data. The prediction of the flow behavior of Haynes 230 Ni-based superalloy of strain-compensated Arrhenius constitutive equation is more accurately (average absolute relative error (AARE) is 2.84%) than that of considering DRV and DRX constitutive equation (AARE is 7.57%).

Chromium rich, nickel based alloys Haynes 230 and Inconel 617 are candidate materials for the primary circuit and intermediate heat exchangers (IHX) of (Very)-High Temperature Reactors. The corrosion resistance of these alloys is strongly related to the reactivity of chromium in the reactor specific environment (high temperature, impure helium). At intermediate temperature – 900°C for Haynes 230 and 850°C for Inconel 617 – the alloys under investigation are likely to develop a chromium-rich surface oxide scale. This layer protects from the exchanges with the surrounding medium and thus prevents against intensive corrosion processes. However at higher temperatures, it was shown that the surface chromia can be reduced by reaction with the carbon from the alloy [1] and the bare material can quickly corrode. Chromium appears to be a key element in this surface scale reactivity. Then, quantitative assessment of the surface requires an accurate knowledge of the chromium activity in the temperature range close to the operating conditions (T ≈ 1273 K). High temperature mass spectrometry (HTMS) coupled to multiple effusion Knudsen cells was successfully used to measure the chromium activity in Inconel 617 and Haynes 230 in the 1423- 1548 K temperature range. Appropriate adjustments of the experimental parameters and in-situ calibration toward pure chromium allow to reach accuracy better than ± 5%. For both alloys, the chromium activities are determined. Our experimental results on Inconel 617 are in disagreement with the data published by Hilpert [2]. Possible explanations for the significant discrepancy are discussed.
