Inconel 617 (Revision) -- A revision of the chapter on IN 617 contains updated data on this heavily-utilized alloy.
First commercially available in 1970, this austenitic Ni-Cr-Co alloy boasts a combination of high temperature strength, corrosion resistance and creep-rupture strength above 870 C.
IN 617 has been evaluated in a wide variety of environments to determine fitness for use in nuclear reactors including molten salt reactors (MSR), very high temperature reactors
(VHTR) and high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGC). Based on its performance, it has been added to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for high-temperature nuclear applications.
This update is scheduled to be released in December 2023.
Authors have been contracted and are working on these chapters for 2024 and beyond:
Inconel 718 (Additive Manufacturing) -- "workhorse" superalloy long used across multiple industries, known for high temperature strength, creep resistance, toughness and weldability.
C17200 -- a beryllium-copper alloy used in aerospace, oil and gas, and many other applications; it exhibits good machinability, high static and fatigue strength.
Haynes 282 -- a wrought superalloy utilized in high temperature structural applications; it is known for a unique combination of creep strength, thermal stability, and weldability.
Haynes 244 -- a low thermal expansion Ni-Mo-Cr-W alloy designed for static applications up to 1400°F; it provides a higher maximum use temperature than other low thermal expansion alloys.
SCF19 -- an austenitic, N-strengthened stainless steel with 5% Mo for improved stress-corrosion-cracking performance; it is applied in harsh oil and gas drilling environments.
Ferrium M54 (Revision) -- a high-toughness, ultra high-strength steel alloy commonly used in structural aerospace applications.
Ti-6Al-4V (Revision) -- a versatile alpha-beta titanium alloy widely used in aerospace and biomedical applications; it combines excellent corrosion resistance, low density, and biocompatibility.
