1.0. BACKGROUND

On October 24, 25 and 26, 1985, Induction Heating Stress Improvement (IHSI) of the welds connecting the Loop "A" cross to the recirculation header, recirculation pump discharge pipe and the cross cap were performed by NUTECH. The IESI procedures utilized by NUTECH were in accordance with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) IHSI guidelines and all the IHSI process parameters were within the EPRI prescribed range. The IHSI pro-cedure called for LP examination of the thermocouple locations after the IHSI treatment. During the LP examinations, linear indications on the cross body outside surface were found. These indications were in a cir-cumferential band starting at the weld prep edge and extending approx-imately 7" axially and are shown in Figure 1. In order to determine the cause for appearance of these indications, a metallurgical evaluation was undertaken. The samples for these evaluations were obtained from the two unused SA403-WP304 crosses from GGNS-Unit 2 that had been fabricated to the same design and from the same material as the GCNS-Unit 1 crosses. One of the unused GCNS-Unit 2 crosses had been used to develop the IHSI technique and coil for the IHSI treatment of the cross cap (X-cap) (the 24" pipe cap welded to the upper 24" inlet of the cross). This cross was also examined using the same LP technique and procedure and revealed indications similar to those in the CGNS-Unit I crosses. Sample locations for metallurgical evaluations were marked in an area showing LP indications and an area well removed from the IHSI affected area. Metallurgical samples were also obtained from the second unused J14 MISC 85111904 - 1

                                                                      ~

The original billet material for the GGNS recirculation crosses was made by g Colt Cruicible Industries id shipped to. Taylor Forge, Chicago. At Taylor Forge, Chicago the billet was forged into four (4) seamless tubes

               -(SA182F304) of dimensions 26 1/2" OD x 3.0" wall x 38" long. This forged tubing was then shipped to Taylor Forge, Woodstock, Tennessee division for hot working to a 24"x24"x16"x16" cross. The final fabrication involved a plug _ pulling technique at 1900*F (max) to form the 16" OD nozzles. Final inspection involved liquid penetrant (LP) testing at the Taylor Forge, Woodstock shop prior to shipment. Two of the crosses were installed at GGNS-Unit 1 and the other two were were retained ~1n-storage after the GGNS-Unit 2 design was changed to use the 316K piping material. Based upon the available documentat' ion, MP&L has determined that all four crosses were fabricated from the same Colt Cruicible heat of material, heat number 623058.

                                                                           ~

each of the twenty-four (24) inch diameter girth welds cnt the cross. Figure 1 provides a map of the indications. These two areas were ground to reduce the density of indice.tions and indication lengths to meet the ASME Section III Subsection NB acceptance criteria for two (2) inch thick forgings under an ASME Section XI repair program. Subsequent to the experiment on the GGNS Unit-2' crosses (described in Section 2.2), the areas of the loop "A" cross which had not initially shown any LP indications were r.urface conditioned using a soft-backed sanding disc. .The LP examination conducted following the surface conditioning revealed that the entire outside surface of the cross exhibited. indications similar to those seen in the original two bands. These-additional areas were ground under the ASME Section XI repair program. Currently, the number of indications exceeding the ASME Section III acceptance criteria'has been reduced to a number where the indications are being removed, or reduced in length to meet the acceptance criteria, on an individual indication basis using a die grinder and round-nosed carbide burrs.

Psgs 5 of 23 The experiment and the findings are presented below: Step I. The as-is surface was subjected to LP examination in three areas. This examination did not reveal any indications. Step II. The previously examined areas in Step I, were lightly sanded and reexamined using LP technique. This time in.two of the three areas the indications were revealed and appeared to be randomly oriented. The other area did not reveal any indications. Step III. The two areas with indications were ground down by about 0.25" and reexamined by LP technique. The indications were almost removed and where they existed they were below ASME Code allowable of 3/16". In-the tapered area between the 0.25" ground surface to the lightly sanded as is surface the indications, as might be expected, were visible. 2.3 Summary of Field Observations (1) Indications on crosses subjected to an IHSI treatment exhibit a circumferential pattern. (2) Indications on the spare cross not subjected to IHSI were revealed only after light sanding of the surface and exhibited a random orientation. J14 MISC 85111904 - 5

  • Pcg2 6 of 23 (3) From the orientation and the appearance of these indications, (i.e., on the outside surface near IHSI treated areas and sub-surface in areas either unaffected by or untreated by IHSI),

demonstrates that the subsurface grain boundary defects were opened to the surface during the IHSI treatment. (4) The indications were resolved within approximately 0.25" of the outside surface confirming the measurements made in the metallurgical investigations. 3.0 METALLURGICAL EVALUATION 3.1 Chemical Analysis Bulk product chemical analysis of the cross material was performed to verify ASTM A403-WP304 specification requirements and to confirm original CMTR chemical analysis.

Pcgo 7 of 23 3.2 Meta 11ography Meta 11ographic sections were taken from Samples B and C of unused cross #1 samples (Figure 3) and E and G of unused cross #2 samples (Figure 4) to establish the nature of the crack indications in unused cross #1 at.d the microstructural features of the Type 304 material of both crosses. The sections were examined on the optical metallograph and in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) in the as-polished condition and after etching. Sampic Group No. 1 (Unused Cross #1) (IHSI Treated at X-cap) Sections through the locations of the externally visible crack indications revealed considerable network cracking at the outside surface. The general morphology of the cracking is illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 and details are shown in Figure 8. The pertinent features of the cracking are as follows: 4 (1) The cracks were completely intergranular and relatively wide open. (2) Surface connected segments and disconnected segments were present in each section. (3) Certain segments followed highly irregular paths (Locations 1 and 2 in Figure 6). (4) Certain crack segments and junctions of crack segments exhibited an abnormal grain boundary constituent [ Figure 7 (b) and (c)]. J14 MISC 85111904 - 7

            .- (5)    The max'i mum observed depth of cracking was'0.25 inch..

Two sections were taken through the outside surfaces of Samples B and-iC at locations where there were no surface' crack indications. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, numerous-subsurface crack segments were-observed'in these sections. The microetructural character of these

                                                                                   ~

crack segments was generally similar to those of the surface connected cracks described above..

                     'The segments were all intergranular and a similar grain boundary constituent was present at some locations.

At the location of the surface connected cracks it is.possible that the separate segments connect to the main cracks in planes other than the polished section. However, the presence of numerous disco'nnected subsurface segments at some locations,- together with the irregular path of some segments and the abnormal. grain bou'ndary constituent, suggests that the cracking was associated with some type of pre-existing microstructural defect.

            . Sample Group No. 2 (Unused Cross #2 (Non IHSI Treated))

Meta 11ographic secitons from Sample E and G of Group No. 2 were examined. Numerous microstructural defects were present in all sections-taken at or through the outside surface of these samples.

14. The pertinent features of these defects are as follows:

(1)' All of the defects were located at grain boundaries. (2) Although there were no visual or penetrant crack indications on the surfaces of these samples, numerous defects were present immediately below the surface (Figures 10, 11 and 12). Note that the defects in these figures are viewed in a direction normal to the original outside surfaces of the sample. (3) In sections taken normal to the outside surface defects were

                   ' observed to e depth of approximately 0.3 inch (Figures 13 and 14).
             '(4) Certain of the defects contained what was initially identified as a two-phase grain boundary constituent such as observed in Samples B and C of Sample Group No. 1. Some of the tight defects appeared to contain some type of single-phase constituent while many appeared open and empty.

(5) The defects in these samples were of a size and orientation similar to the disconnected-segments in Samples B and C (Group No. 1, Unused Cross No. 1) and exhibited microstructural features

                   ~ essentially identical to the cracking.

                             . final determination of the most probable ~cause is dependent upon a review of the shop travelers from the Taylor Forge' Chicago facility where the preform was fabricated. EPRI is assisting MP&L in obtaining these shop travelers and the. final determination

(2) A mandrell was used to pierce-a hole ant cause the metal to flow in the annalus between the die and s the mandrel. Thus, a forged tubing is obtained. The piercing temperature is around 2200-2250*F.. (3) During the upsetting process to produce a solid cylinder it is believed that the billet surface was not adequately lubricated. Glass is commonly used as a lubricant in upsetting and piercing operations. Inadequate lubrication will permit excessive friction between the die wall and the J14 MISC 85111904 - 14

<; ;y ~ l Paga 15 of 23
a. s metal being worked during the piercing operation, because of the metal flow along the inadequately lubricated interface between the die wall and the metal.

(4) The excessive friction at the piercing temperature imposes severe shear strains in the metal at the immediate vicinity of the die wall. Since at elevated temperatures grain boundary strength is lower than the strength of the grain, the bound-aries will separate under the load. (5) This is a skin effect and the frictional forces rapidly dissipate as one moves away from the die wall. Thus, this phenomenon is only evidenced in the skin immediately below the outside surface. (6) As the piercing mandrell travels deeper, more metal flow occurs and since there is a reservoir of lubricant on the top. surface, metal flow is facilitated causing the grain separations to weld - shut. However, since the operation is not per-formed under controlled atmosphere, it is highly; i conceivable that when the grain boundary separates it would rapidly oxidize. The defective grain boundaries can thus become subsurface and retain their intergranular-nature. J14 MISC 85111904 1-

Internal oxidation can be caused by several means, including:

                         <                   -    Heating of a materialLin'an atmosphere with a relatively low oxidizing potential, (higher-oxidizing potential atmospheres promote bulk surface oxidation).or
                                             -    Heating of a material with an oxide scale.

1 I Larger grain sizes promote internal' oxidation due to the lower grain boundary energy, making the grain boundary act as a " conduit"~for oxygen. The presence of the grain boundary oxides only on the outside surface of the cross body, combined with the dispersed oxide at prior austenite. grain-boundaries in the mechanically worked arms of the cross,' requires that the condition was present prior to the forging of the arms from the tubular preform. Had these oxides also been present on the forged inner surface of the arms, the J14 MISC 85111904'- 171

r- + o Pego 18 of 23 4 condition could have been present on both the inner and outer surfaces of the preform and removed from the inner surface of the body during machining. Since no such oxidation could be observed in an as-forged inner surface of the arm, it is concluded that the condition was present only on the outer surface of the preform prior to cross production. The uniformity of the grain boundary condition dictates that the condition is caused by a gas / metal or liquid / metal reaction. This would mean the same condition existed on the inner surface of the rough forged preform. It was noted that the final preform had a vall thickness dimension of "3.000 inches", which would indicate the requirement for a machining operation. This machining operation would have been performed on the inner surface. It is therefore concluded that the preform "as-received" by Taylor Forge (Memphis) contained the observed grain boundary condition, though only on the outer surface. J14 MISC 85111904 - 18

size, it is reasonable to assume that this excessive grain growth _ occurred as a result of a thermal excursion in the range of 2000*F,

most likely 2100*F. -Additionally, this grain. growth would have had to occur prior to the internal oxidation, since the oxidation would have served to " pin" the grain boundaries (i.e., prevent grain growth by a second phase material in the grain boundaries).

The most likely course of events was that grain growth was the result of a' temperature excursion during the heating cycle (s) associated with the piercing operation. This is possible due to controller malfunction, operator error, or inadequate process controls. Since this metal' deformation was performed above the recrystallization temperature, no grain refinement would be expected during deformation. The subsequent solution heat treatment operation-provides the large grain size, since the. furnace atmosphere control would tend to be toward the'1ess oxidizing regime to avoid scaling. 4.0 IHSI RESIDUAL STRESS AND FRACTURE MECHANICS ANALYSIS Nutech has performed an analysis to determine the residual stresses in the cross after IHSI. The analysis has confirmed that compressive stresses are present on the ID of the cross in the vicinity of the IHSI treated welds and that this stress diminishes with distance from the IHSI treated area, J14 MISC 85111904 - 20

Prga 21 of 23 The analysis has also shown that tensile stresses exist on the Outer Surface (OD) of the cross in the region of the treatment and that these-stresses diminish with distance from the' treated area (Figure 20 and 21). Blind hole drilling performed by Southwest Research Institute on the IHSI treated trial cross confirms that tensile stresses do exist on the OD and that compressive stresses exist on the ID. It appears that the grain boundary defects opened up to the surface in areas where the calculated residual tensile stress was about 20-25 kai (Figure 20). GE performed a fracture mechanics analysis to determine ASME Code , acceptable crack sizes (Table 1). The GE analysis has shown that: (1) Based on maximum operating stresses and for a factor of safety of 3, a 360' circumferential crack of a depth equal to 75% of the wall thickness is acceptable. (2) Based on maximum operating stresses and for a factor of safety of 3, a 10" axial through-wall crack is acceptable. (3) Based on the size of the existing indications, and the allowable flaw size, the incremental growth is negligible. It is, therefore, concluded that continued operation is justified for the life of the plant. J14 MISC 85111904 - 21

1. - After implementation of IHSI compressive stresses are present on the inside surface and tensile stresses are present on the outside surface in the vicinity of the IHSI treated areas,_and that these stresses diminish with distance from the treated area.
2. The grain boundary defects opened up to the surface in areas where residual tensile stresses reached 20-25 ksi.
3. The incremental growth of existing indications is negligible.

Therefore, continued operation is justified for the life of the plant.

S (1) The indications found on the GGNS-Unit 1 crosses are shallow near surface grain boundary defects induced during the preform fabrication operation. (2)' The maximum observed depth of penetration of the grain boundary from the outside surface is 0.30". (3) The grain boundary defects were not caused by IGSCC. (4) IHSI treatment has been shown to have opened the near surface grain boundary defect to the surface. J14 MISC 85111904 - 22
