Background

~

Several ~410 stainless steel studs in valves SI-241 and SI-1890B in the Surry Unit I low head safety injection system were found broken and partially or completely missing from the valves. Due to circumstances surrounding the failure, the initial judgement was that the three 1 1/4" diameter studs which failed in SI-241 had failed by over-torque.

A thorough metallurgical and chemical analysis of the failed studs and foreign material found on the studs (see Appendix A) indicated that the failure mechanism was stress corrosion cracking. It is assumed that rapid unstable crack growth occurred after the critical flaw size was achieved. During the investigation period for SI-241, two (2) 410 stainless steel studs failed in SI-1890B;by the .same mechanism ar.d this failure it documented in Appendix B.

The 513-18908 studs were 1- 7/8" diameter. No leakage in either valve was attributed to failure of the studs. Due to the number of failed studs in SI-241, a detailed structural analysis was conducted which is contained in Appendix C. This analysis concluded that the valve was not in danger of failure due to.the loss of several studs.

A review of the purchase records and markings on the studs indicated that the same manufacturer had supplied the studs for both valves in 1981 as part of a valve stud material replacement program for Surry Units 1 and 2. Furthermore, chemical analysis of studs from both valves, an.d a third valve with similarly marked studs of the same size, indicated that only two heats of material were involved. One heat of material was employed for the 11" studs found in one

[ valve and one heat was employed for the 17/8" studs found in several valves.

JMM/jmj/0M4-64

The chemical analysis _of foreign material found ,on the studs indicated the presence of copper which originated from the lubricant. Also, valve SI-241 had experienced leakage w'hich provided the electrolite for the stress corrosion cracking. Valve SI-1890B showed signs of past leakage and/or collection of moisture from the local environment. Many of the studs from both SI-241 and SI-1890B were rusted.

f Mechanical test results from the failed studs were generally within the required values for ASTM A193, Grade B6, the specification to which the studs were purchased (except the minimum tensile strength was specified as 125 Ksi vs the minimum requirement for B6 material of 110 Ksi). In one case a stud was found to show a reduction in area of 44.5% vs the specification requirement of 50%; however, all other requirements were met. A supplementary Charpy V-notch test indicated low notch toughness for studs from both 51-241 4' and 51-18908, and the fracture appearance of the tensile test specimens was abnormal. The chemistry of the studs from both valves was within ASTM A193 Grade B6 requirements, and the hardness values were in the range of 25 to 24 Rockwell C (HRC). Typical hardness values. have been in the range of 28 to 32 HRC which indicates a fairly soft temper for 410 stainless steel.

The combination of sensitivity to stress corrosion cracking, low fracture toughness and abnormal tensile fracture appearance are indicators of a low tempering temperature and temper embrittlement. It appears that the failed studs were tempered below the ASTM A193 Grade B6 minimum requirement of 1100'F, and in a range resulting in temper embrittlement. The studs may have been tempered between 1000 F and 1050 F. In some instances the stud manufacturer appears to have heat treated at a lower tempering temperature l-JMM/jmj/0M4-64

than the minimum specified by ASTM A193 for 86 material to achieve the higher tensile strength of 125 Ksi minimum required by the purchase order. This material was marked by the manufacturer J410. In other instances the manufacturer may have inadvertently tempered the 410 stainless steel studs below 1100 F or ' performed some other heat treatment resulting in temper embrittlement. Some material marked JB6 (indicating that the ASTM A193 Grade B6 specification nad been met), was in this category.

Valve SI-241 was found to have 410 stainless steel studs marked J410, while valve SI-18908 had 410 stainless steel studs marked JB6.

Failure Mechanism The failure techanism observed in SI-241 and SI-1890B involved the growth of intergranular stress corrosion crack (s) to a point where the largest flaw reached critical size and the stud failed by rapid fracture. During the failure a localized " load shed" to adjacent studs occurs. This localized load buildup in adjacent studs was the apparent cause of failure of one (1) additional stud with a stress corrosion crack in SI-1890B. Load shed also may have resulted in the failure of one (1) or two (2) cracked studs in SI-241,

but this cannot be determined. The load shed affect is not thought to be l

l capable of the failure of an entire group of valve studs due primarily to:

l l 1. The differential stress in the studs due to torquing by use of torque wrenches,

2. The difference in crack size in the studs,

! 3. The fact that all studs in a valve are not cracked, and that (due to l'

torquing sequence) the distribution of cracked and uncracked studs is somewhat symmetrical (alternating).

JMM/jmj/0M4-64 r

t

Only those 410 stainless steel studs have failed which were corroded (rusted).

Such a condition occurs - where there is significant chronic valve leakage and/or moisture resulting from environniental conditions external to the valve.

~

A microscopic analysis 'of the failed studs reveals a rust buildup in the thread roots with localized pitting or "troughing" in the root. Stress corrosion cracks initiate from the pits or troughs and extend into the studs at an initial angle equal to the thread pitch'. ,

Cracking in the SI-241 studs was restricted to the lower portion of the studs at the interface region between the stud and the valve body. At this regicn there was a small accumulation of boric acid and copper (CSA) lubricant.

In.the SI-1890 valves, stud cracking occurred at two locations. Most of the

- cracks were located in the lower region of the studs just above, or at, the interface with the bottom nut. This location would be the normal accumulation point for moisture on the stud and the location of excess thread lubricant.

Two studs, one in 18908 and one in 1890C, cracked in the nut. These cracks occurred in the upper portion of the studs and represent the only cracks found in the upper ~ region. One stud crack was 11" into the nut which was apparently holding water. Cracking in this case occurred at the interface between moisture, and thread lubricant, but in a low' stress region.

Material, Stress, and Environmental Effects Intergranular stress corrosion cracking is the result of an interrelationship between the material which is susceptible to IGSCC, a condition of stress in the material which must exceed a threshold value (KIscc), and an environa nt l which contributes electrolite and some corrosive species. An investigation JMM/jmj/0M4-64

1 into all. three aspects of the IGSCC process was conducted for the 410 stainless steel stud failure at Surry. The important' elements related to each aspect of material, stress, and environment follow:

1. Material
a. Studs were specified to have a minimum tensile strength of 125 Ksi vs th' eASTM A193 Grade B6 requirement of 110 Ksi minimum.
b. The studs were tempered in such a manner as to result in temper embrittlement, probably at a temperature between 1000 and 1050*F.
c. The studs have mechanical properties which , generally meet ASTM A193 Grade B6, though reduction-in-area values are marginal.
d. The studs meet the cheinical analysis requirements of ASTM A193 '

Grade B with a minor exception as shown in Table 3 of Appendix B.

p e. Supplementary Charpy V-notch tests show low notch toughness, with I the . fracture surface appearance , indicating little or no shear 1.

-fracture.

I-

f. Supplementary hardness tests of cracked studs indicate a scatter of hardness values between HRC 25 and 34 (See Appendix A to this i

l report). This indicates considerable variability in material properties, sometimes across a single diameter of a single stud.

g. Bend test specimens, cut from l'ongitudinal sections of studs parallel to the central axis, indicate v'ery little ductility in studs which exhibit IGSCC, with bend angles between O' and 17*.

a.

2. Stress (and crack dimensions)
d. Based on material notch toughness (from which fracture toughness can be estimated), and flaw size at failure for studs in SI 241 and SI-18908, the failure stress does not represent an over-torque condition.
b. The presence of cracks in two studs well within that portion of the studs surrounded by the nuts indicates that there is a very low threshold stress intensity (KIscc) value for inWadon of IGSCC in the temper embrittled 410 stainless steel. The K Iscc valuemaybebelow10t;.20Ksidin,
c. Crack growth rates may not be a function of stress in the '~ studs.

Observed growth rates for cracks in the same general region of a single 410 stainless steel stud are in the range of 2.9 x 10-9 in/second to 4.1 x 10-10 in/second. The lcwer crack growth rates seem to represent locations on stud surfaces above the stud-nut-lubricant interface. The higher growth rates are closer to the stud nut interface and in the region of moisture / lubricant r- JM/jmj/0M4-64

e concentrat. ion.

~d. Since the valves in question at the Surry Power Station were asse-bled primarily by use of torque. wrenches, a high variability is anticipated in preload from stud-to-stud due to the' limits' on torque control possible with a torque wrench, and the use of torque ~ sequence patterns with_ a low number of passes. This results 'in significant variations in net stress from stud-to-stud in each valve. With stud material sensitive to IGSCC at a low K threshold, this is a desirable situation Iscc

e. There is significant variability in crack shape and size from stud-to-stud and from location-tc-location within a single stud.

The observed cracks grow with aspect ratios (a/l) as large as 0.5 and as small as 0.1 or less.

f. Failure of a stud occurs when the size of the crack reaches a critical value (a )c based on stud stress and static fracture toughness (KIc). The critical flaws in failed studs have normally been large flaws with an aspect ratio of 0.25 to 0.5. One failed stud with an aspect ratio of less than 0.1 is thought to represent a " load shed" failure.

~

g. Load shedding due to the static fracture of one stud results in loading of adjacent studs. Those adjacent studs with a flaw which becomes critical in size as a result of the new load may fracture.

! JMM/jmj/0M4-64 L

e It has been observed, however, that only one (1) or possibly two (2) studs have fractured. This low number of " load shed" fractures is due to: (1) the significant difference in net stress of surrounding studs, (2) the large variation in crack size from stud-to-stud, and (3) the number of uncracked studs in each valve spaced between cracked studs.

3. Environment
a. The studs appear to crack due to the e'lectrolite (water) present from valve leakage, or from a source external to the valve,
b. Only those studs have cracked which were rusted with small pits in the thread rcots.
c. The cracks grew out of pits in thread roots,
d. Cracking has occurred most frequently and more severely at the interface between the stud, thread lubricant (copper CSA), and moisture. Cracking seems to occur more slowly at regions away from the lubricant " pile" at the nut / stud interface.
e. Detailed analysis of chemical samples removed from bolted connections in the Surry station has shown a wide variety of chemical species. Few of these have any history of causing cracking in 410 stainless steel at hardness values of 25 to 34 HRC. Copper lubricants have been reported in several references as playing some part, yet unquantified, in the IGSCC failure of JMM/jmj/0M4-64

410-stainless steel fasteners in field service and in laboratory tests.

f. Leach tests conducted on the fracture surface of a 410 stainless steel stud from SI-241 revealed no abnormal pH condition. Also, leach tests on concentrations of leakage residue from a sister valve of SI-241 revealed no abnormal contaminates or pH value.

Actions Taken to Define and Resolve the Cracking Problem

.The following actions have been taken to further. define the extent of this problem and to resolve the problem:

1. Studs in valves SI-1890A, B, and C and SI-2830A, B, ar.d C have been removed and have been inspected by non-destructive and destructive (on a selective basis) techniques to determine the extent of the IGSCC. The results of this inspection are included in Appendix B.

Studs in SI-241 were also examined to determine the nature, size, and extent of the cracks and this evaluation is included in Appendix A.

2. A detailed search was conducted of the purchase records to determine what other fasteners of 410 stainless steel were supplied by the vendor in question, and other vendors, as part of the valve stud replacement project at the Surry Pcwer Station.
3. Valves in ASME class systems within the scope of the original valve change-out were identified where stud size is 3/4" diameter ar.d greater. All such valves were inspected to determine: (1) what JMM/jmj/0M4-64 l

r materials were used for studs on a valve-by-valve basis, (2) where studs marked JB6 and J410 were used, and (3) where possible which vendors supplied other studs of 410 stainless steel. It was determined from field inspection that a relatively small number of 410 stainless steel studs were used in Surry Unit 2; however, a larger number of studs were found in Surry Unit 1.

4. During the Unit 1 and Unit 2 maintenance outages, 410 stainless steel studs 3/4" diameter and greater marked JB6, J410, B6 or unmarked, in critical applications, were replaced. Other studs were tested on a sample basis to determine if any were temper embrittled or showed signs of IGSCC. No additional studs were cracked. One stud was found to be _ marginal in ductility which was considered to be an indicaticn of temper embrittlement. All of the studs tested demonstrated superior bend test results to those which were temper embrittled and showed IGSCC.
5. Studs in the size range below 3/4" diameter have been removed on a sample basis and tested to prove that they are not cracking by IGSCC and that they are not temper embrittled. It was found that small studs generally did not exhibit temper embrittlement and none were cracked. This is assumed to be because of a difference in the heat treatment process for small diameter studs, and the apparent ease in obtaining desired mechanical properties in these studs by complying with ASTM '.'93 Grade B6 heat treatment requirements. Appendix Z contains the bend test procedure and results including photographs of fracture surfaces.

JMM/jmj/0M4-64

6. Imediately after discovering the broken studs in SI-18908, all critical safety related systems in both Surry 1 and 2 were visually inspected by a walkdown conducted by station operations personnel.

No further broken studs were observed.

Conclusions and Recommendations With the actions described above completed, it is concluded that the Surry stud cracking mechanism has been identified and the extent of the problem has been determined. Material suspect of IGSCC was replaced and other material which indicated no IGSCC, but which was considered marginal in ductility, was identified for replacement at a later outage. Specifically, the final recommendations from this evaluation are as follows:

1. Large diameter studs (3/4" to 17/8" diameter) marked VB6 shcwed no signs of IGSCC, but one stud indicated marginal ductility by the bend test. Since marginal ductility indicates some degree of temper embrittlement, it is considered conservative to replace these large diameter studs at the next refueling outage.
2. Small diameter (<3/4") studs tested indicated low hardness and reasonable ductility by bend tests except those studs marked VB6-JC

, which were marginal in the bend test. None of the studs marked VB6-JC were cracked, but it would be conservative to locate and remove this material at the next refueling outage.

3. Because of the superior performance of the small diameter (<3/4") B6 410 stainless steel studs as compared to B7 low alloy steel studs in JP94/jmj/0M4-64

I borated water service, it is recommended that no replacement of these studs be made except as noted in 2. above. Where normal replacement is required, due to valve maintenance, 410 stainless steel may be used provided it is purchased to the requirements of ASTM A193 Grade B6. Since this may involved receipt of some materials with tensile strength below 125 Ksi and a low yield strength, the lower tensile and yield strength of the B6 studs must be reviewed and approved by Station Engineering or E&C.

SUMMARY

Twenty-three studs from two safety injection valves were examined from the Virginia Power Surry Nuclear Power Plant. One set of twelve studs was fabricated from ASTM 193 B6 (AISI Type 410 stainless steel) while the other set was fabricated from ASTM 193 B7 (AISI Type 4140). Three of the 410 stainless steel studs were broken when received. The fractures occurred approximately 2-1/4 inches above the bottom of the stud where the studs thread into the valve flange. Cracks were detected in eight 410 stainless steel studs during penetrant testing including the three studs containing fractures. The studs failed in a mixed mode intergranular and ductile rupture fracture. The failure mechanism is probably related to an unexplained interaction between the 410 SS and a copper bearing lubricant used during valve assembly.

The B7 studs also showed degradation in the same area. Two of the studs underwent severe general corrosion of the stud in the same area where the 410 studs failed. The general corrosion is caused by boric acid leakage. This type of corrosion, however, is readily apparent which could be an advantage in a plant.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Twenty-three 1-1/4 inch diameter 6-3/8 inch long studs from two low head safety injection valves were removed from the Virginia Power Surry Nuclear Power Plant. Twelve studs are used to hold the cap to the valve top. The valve carries borated water. The studs were shipped to the Babcock & Wilcr x Company Lynchburg Research Center (LRC) for examination.

The studs were individually wrapped and packaged in a fif tyfive gallon drum.

The drum was labeled #SH 1985-165. One set of twelve studs removed from valve SI-241 was fabricated from ASTM 193-B6 modified tensile strength (AISI 410 stainless steel) material. The other eleven studs were removed from valve SI-243 and were fabricated from ASTM 193-B7 ( AISI 4140 steel) material. For clarity, the studs are designated as 241 and 243 studs throughout the remainder of this report. Three of the SI-241 studs (numbers 2, 4, and 5) tere broken in service. Figure 1 shows a picture of the SI-241 valve insitu.

Note the three missing nuts and broken studs in the photograph. A graphic representation of the configuration of the valve showing where deposits can accumulate if the valve leaks is also shown in Figure 1. The 243 studs were removed from a similar valve but none of the studs were fractured.51) One stu1, however, was lost and could not be shipped.

The studs in the 243 valve had been changed out recently as part of a program to use 87 material for all replacement studs.

2.0 WORKSCOPE The primary purpose of the examination was to examine the failures of the 241 s tuds . The 243 studs were examined on a limited basis. The workscope included the following steps as outlined below.

3.2 Visual Inspection The twenty-three studs were visually inspected upon receipt. A Virginia Power representative reported that 241 studs #10 and #5 had been inadvertently

T Babcos;k &WHeox RDD:85:5237-01:01 PAGE 3 a McDermott company switched and mislabeled at Surry. The #5 and #10 studs were switched at the LRC to correct the mistake. One end of the 241 studs was stamped J410 while the other end was stamped NN137. The stampings did not correspond to placement or orientation in the valve and, therefor', were not significant in the examination. The 243 studs did not hate any identifications. Photographs typical of the 241 and 243 studs in the as-received condition are shown in Figures 2 and 3. A photograph of stud #5 wa:. Inadvertently not taken. All of the studs were covered with colored deposits ranging / rom white to whitish-brown to red and copper colored. The white colored deposits were probably boric acid crystals. The boric acid could ha/e resulted from occasional leaks in the valves which carry borated water. The majority of the deposits were located in a band about 1-1/4 to 3 inches long and starting approxhiately 2.5 inches from one end as shown for 243 studs #2 and #5 in Figure 3. General wastage was also observed in this same area on 243 studs #6 and #11 as shown ir. Figure 3. No significant defects were observed for the 241 studs except for the three fractured studs shown in Figure 4.

3.3 Penetrant Inspection The studs were scraped and chemically cleaned in passivated hcl

  • to remove surfac,e deposits from the studs. The deposits scraped from the 243 studs and from 241 stud #8 were collected and transferred into separate glass vials for subsequent chemical analyses (Section 3.8). The studs were flourescent dye penetrant inspected according to ASTM E-165-80. The results of the inspection showed multiple indications in the thread roots over the entire length of the 241 studs which could have been caused by small pitting, and tearing of the threads. Possible cracks were detected in 241 studs #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8,11,12 in the same 1-1/4 inch band where the deposits were observed during the visual inspection; however, cracks were verified in studs 2, 4, 5, 6, and 12 only.

CPassivated Hydrochloric Acid - room temperature solution of 6N hcl inhibited with 2 g/l hexamethylene/ tetramine.

i No crack indications were found on the 243 studs even in the wastage areas of studs #6 and #11. Only minor pitting type indications were found on the 243 studs.

3.4 Scanning Electron Microscopy of Fracture Surfaces The fracture surface of 241 stud #2 was removed by dry sectioning a 1/8 inch Wdfer off the end of the stud. The wafer was then quartered to permit the specimens to fit in the chamber of the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Each of the four quarters was examined in the SEM before and after cleaning in passivated hcl. The examination was performed with an ETEC* SEM. The fracture surface of each quarter had a similar mixed mode' morphology, i.e., a mixture of intergranular, transgranular and microvoid coalescence. Figure 5 is representative of the fracture observed in each quarter and shows the difference between the edge and center areas of Quarter B. There appears to be more ductile fracture at the center of the stud.

Al, Si, K Ca, S, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Zn were detected on the fracture surface of the stud. Representative EDS spectra are shown in Figure 6. A replica of one quarter of the fracture surface of 241 Stud #2 was made to remove the surface deposits from the stud. The use of the replica reduced the energy counts from the base metal thereby increasing the accuracy of the deposit analysis. The replica was carbon coated and analyzed with the EDS system. Figure 7 shows an elemental dot made of a copper particle found on the replica. Note, the amount of copper found on the fracture surface was sporadic in nature and found in small discrete particles. A semi-quantitative standardless EDS analysis of the overall replica showed:

Si 1.79%

K 0.23%

Cr 11.42%

Fe 86.00%

Cu 0.56%

Samples of the surface deposits taken from 241 stud #8 and the 243 studs were also analyzed. The results showed major peaks of Si, Ca, S, Cr and Fe on all samples.

3.6 Physical Testing Physical testing including Rockwell hardness testing, full and reduced section tensile testing, and elevated and room temperature charpy testing were performed on 241 stud samples. The full section tests were performed at the LRC while the tensile and charpy tests were performed at an independent la bora tory. The samples were chemically cleaned in passivated hydrochloric acid prior to shipping and testing.

3.6.1 Hardness Testing Wafers approximately 1/4 inch thick were removed with a water cooled abrasive ~

cut off saw for all 241 studs and 243 stud #8. Five Rockwell hardness readings were taken across each of the wafers according to ASTM E18-74. The _

results, shown in Table 1, indicate that the Rockwell C hardness of the 241 studs ranged from 25.4 to 34.7.

3.6.2 Full Section Loading Two 241 studs were tested in the original configuration to determine the effect of the cracking on the overall load carrying capacity of the studs. A -

fixture was fabricated in which the studs were threaded and pulled on a 120,000 pound load frame. The full section tensile tests were performed at a moderate loading (crosshead) rate on one service cracked (241 stud #6) and one q intact (241 stud #3) stud. The actual loading rate cannot be determined on a the Baldwin Universal Testing Machine. The maximum loads obtained are given below:

Service Cracked 241 Stud #6 61,600 lbs.

Intact 241 Stud #3: >115,000 lbs.

'T'he intact stud did not fail at a load of 115,000 pounds which is reasonable based on the cross-sectional area (approximately one square inch) and tensile I

, strength (140,000 psi) of this material. The 241 stud #6 did fail.

Photographs of 241 stud #6 following the completion of tensile testing are shown in Figure 8. Approximately 35-40 percent of the cross-sectional area of stud #6 was precracked. Using a 40% precrack and an original cross-sectional area of one square inch, the #6 stud should have pulled greater than 84,000 pounds. Normally, most ductile steel alloys exhibit a notched tensile strength higher than the tensile strength of the material. The lower propor-tionai load capability for stud #6 indicates that the material had a high notch sensitivity (high localized stress intensity combined with low fracture toughness) similar to alloy steels tempered at temperatures less than 900 F.(5) SEM fractographs (Figure 9) show that the service cracked region

ah mW RDD:85:5237-01:01 PAGE 8 a McDermott company (dark area of the fracture) of the stud failed in a mixed mode manner of which the majority was intergranular in nature. In the center of the stud where the fracture surface was bright and shiny (signifying a new fracture) the fracture had more areas showing ductile rupture, however, a significant amount of intergranular fracture is also present.

3.6.3 Tensile Testing The tensile tests were performed by Westmoreland Mechanical Testing &

Research, Inc., Youngstown, Pennsylvania, on samples from 241 studs #1 (intact) and #2 (failed), specimens 1 and 2, respectively. The tests were performed in accordance with ASTM E8. The results (Appendix A) shcw no apparent differences in the two specimens (146 to 148 ksi tensile strength) but both show higher tensile and yield strength than normally specified by Virginia Power for 410 stainless steel. Virginia Power normally requested a tensile of 120,000-132,000 psi.(I) The higher strength is probably due to a lower tempering temperature. A tempering temperature decrease from 1100 F to 1050 F or 1000 F could cause the observed strength and hardness values for 410 stainless steel.(6) Note, the samples were mislabeled by the testing laboratory as 413 SS. An SEM fractograph, shown in Figure 10, of stud #1 after fracture, shows an unusual fracture. Note thh axial cracks in the well necked fracture. These cracks could have been caused by high biaxial stresses produced during necking. Higher magnification views showed the fracture to be ductile rupture.

3.6.4 Charpy Testing Room and elevated temperature charpy impact tests were performed by Westmoreland Mechanical testing & Research, Inc. on samples from 241 studs #4 (failed) and #11 (intact). The tests were performed in accordance to ASTM E23. The results (Appendix A) showed no difference in the two studs. Both had impact energies of 14 and 105 foot pounds for room temperature and 400 F test temperatures, respectively, which are reasonable for tempering

gg RDD:85:5237-01:01 PAGE 9 a McDermott company temperature near 1050 F or 1000 F. For example, the expected charpy impact of 120,000 psi material would have been approximately 25-35 ft-lbs. Therefore, the lower shelf energy is slightly lower than expected for the 120,000 psi Case.

There was considerable difference between the fracture mode at the two test temperatu res. The SEM photomicrographs in Figure 11 show a mixed mode fracture for the room temperature fracture while the elevated temperature fracture was mainly ductile rupture. Therefore, the predominantly intergranular fracture is apparently the preferred fracture mode for the 410 stainless steel stud material for impact or cracked tensile at low (near room) tempe ratu res.

3.7 Metallography A metallurgical sample was prepared from 241 stud #12. The sample selected from the 241 stud included a circumferential crack found during penetrant testing. The sample was mounted, ground and polished using normal practices.

Figure 12 shows an intergranular crack observed propagating from the outer surface of the stud in the thread root. The crack was wide at the base as if the prior austenite grain boundaries had corroded away. The sample was then etched in oxalic acid (Figure 13). The resulting microstructure was tempered martensite with no detectable ferrite in the prior austenite grain boundaries.

3.8 Deposit Chemical Analyses All deposit samples from the eleven 243 studs were combined and split into two samples labeled 243-1 and 243-2. The 241 stud #8 scrap sample was left intact. The three samples were ground and mixed with an agate mortar and pestle. The sample labeled 241 stud #8 had a gray black color and was sticky.

Samples from the 243 studs were brown in color.

The samples were mixed with a buffer containing an internal standard and burned in a D.C. arc. Standards were analyzed in the same way. Line intensitities were recorded photographically. All intensities were ratioed to the intensity of the internal standard lines. The following elements were measured: Zn , Na , V , Sn , Ca , Mo , It , Co , Zr, Mn , C r, Pb, Mg ,

1 Cu, Ni, Fe, Al, and Si. Boron was also observed but emission lines were too intense to quantify. The precision of the method is approximately +/- 20%

relative.

Acid blanks were treated in the same manner. The sulfate was determined by a turbidimetric method after addition of barium "

  • Specifications per ASTM 193 - 86 and B7 4.0 DISCUSSION The cracks in the 241 studs from Surry's low head safety injection valves were probably initiated by a stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism; a stress h overload, however, was almost certainly responsible, for an unknown portion of fracture propagation. The fracture surface examined in the SEM (241-#2) had a l mixed mode intergranular and ductile rupture morphology normally typical of SCC. There were multiple circumferential cracks along the stud axis in an area where deposits collected (see Figures 2 and 4). The cracks were highly i

branched with secondary cracks occurring at near right angles from the cain crack which is again typical of SCC. SCC occurs most often in aqueous environments. Some studs were probably exposed to an aqueous boric acid solution during valve leakage. This is evident from the gross localized wastage in the 243 studs and the deposits found in the flange area of the l studs. It was determined that the low temperature precracked tensile and impact modes for the 241 stud material are predominately intergranular (see Figures 9 and 11). However, simple tensile overload was probably not s responsible for both crack initiation and propagation even if it is assumed

RDD:85:S237-01:01 PAGE 15 Babcock &wiscox i a McDermott company that the thread would be an adequate notch and that a sufficient source of tensile stress was available. This conclusion is based on the observation that many of the studs show partial cracks and more importantly the fractured studs (2, 4, and 5) also show partial circumferential cracking. Tensile overload would not produce partial cracking of the type seen and particularly for f ractured studs. However, several multiple cracks in conjunction with i fracture is typical of SCC initiation. SCC is a mechanical-environmental failure in which sustained tensile stress and chemical attack combine to initiate and propagate fracture in susceptible material. Failure by SCC can be caused by simultaneous exposure to a seemingly mild chemical environment and to tensile stresses below the yleid strength of the material. This synergistic action causes failure in less time than the separate effects of the stress and environment. Sources of stresses can be from manufacturing (casting, welding, thermal processing, surface finishing, etc.) or service (stress risers, temperature differentials, assembly, external sources, etc.).

The requirements for SCC (as indicated above) appear to be present for the 241 series studs. The studs were retorqued and possibly reused which could have subjected the material to stresses near or above the yield strength of the Odterial. It Was reported that the valves leak periodically and that the studs may be subsequently retorqued to a higher value.II) This could result in sufficiently high tensile stresses in the studs to rapidly propagate existing SCC initiated cracks.

The cracking probably initiated in pitted regions in the thread roots on the outer surface of the 241 studs. The outer surface is exposed to various environments carrying unknown chemical contaminants. Microchemical analysis of the fracture found evidence of aluminum, silicon, calcium, and copper on the fracture surface. High levels of Ni, A1, and St were found in the scrapings of both 241 stud #8 and the 243 series studs (Table 2). Low levels of Cu and Mg were also present. Based on the bulk chemical analysis of the stud materials (Table 6), none of these elements can be considered corrosion products, therefore, these elements must result from either application of

T RDD:85:5237-01:01 pAGE 16 h &WHcom a McDerraott comparty

(

antiseize Compounds, Valve leakage, or general accumulation of area contamination. Aluminum, silicon, sulfur and calcium are commonly found in boric acid lines. Nickel-based lubricants are used during installation of studs which accounts for the high level of Ni seen in all scraping. Copper bearing antiseize compounds were used praviously,(I) however, complete removal of this material would be difficult. This explains the low level of Cu present.

Martenistic 410 stainless steels are susceptible to SCC in some environments.

The material is usually considered crack resistant at the hardness levels observed, but cracking has occurred during exposure to very alkaline environments or in conjunction with copper based antisetze compounds when the hardness was in the 40 Rc range.(2,3) The cracking which occurred during exposure to copper based compounds was supposedly controlled by lowering the hirdness of the material to approximately 25-30 Rc. This resulted in an apparent life increase of three years. Extended test results for longer periods were not available. The failure mechanism is thought to be related to an electrochemical interaction between the Cu based antiseize compound and the 410 stainless steel, but this has not been proven. Long term elimination of the problem by reducing the hardness levels also has not been proven.

Therefore, SCC cracking appears to be present in the 241 series studs, but definition of the mechanism arid influence of slight environmental and/or mechanical property changes would require testing in a laboratory environment.

The 243 studs underwent simple localized wastage apparently caused by localized concentrated boric acid leakage from the valve. Alloy and mild steels are susceptible to a high level (>50 mils / year) of attack from this source.

Babcock &WHcom RDD:85:5237-01:01 PAGE 17 4 MCDermott Company

5.0 CONCLUSION

S

1. Crack initiation for the 241 series studs apparently was caused by some type of stress corrosion cracking mechanism. This type of attack is very unusual for 410 stainless steel at the low hardness levels listed.

However, a high level of stress was probably present, at least for some studs. The stress level combined with the unknown environment present apparently was adequate to cause crack initiation in the eight studs noted.

2. The 241 series stud material appears to be quite crack or notch sensitive at low temperatures. This is indicated by the room temperature charpy test results, the full section tensile test results (stud #6), and the intergranular fracture surfaces observed.
3. Final fracture (an unknown percentage of the cross-section) for studs 2, 4, and 5 was apparently caused by stress overload.
4. Prior use of Cu based antiseize compounds during stud installation may have contributed to 241 series crack initiation, but this cannot be proven i because of the low hardness levels and the generally uncontrolled stud environment.
5. The 243 series stad wastage was apparently caused by localized concentrated boric acid corrosion due to valve leakage.

/ FAILURE ANALYSIS OF CRACKED i STUDS FROM SURRY UNIT 1 VALVE SI-1890B i L . A failure analysis was conducted on two cracked studs from valve SI-18903 in a the Surry I safety injection system. The valve is located in the Unit i valve pit adja, cent to the containment. (- The failure of the two (2) 1 7/8" diameter x 14.5" long studs was noticed , during a periodic system inspection conducted by operations personnel. The broken studs were provided by station management to N0D/0&Ms for failure I ar,alysis. Assistance in the analysis was provided by the Performance Services-4 Chesterfield Metallurgical Laboratory. The following tests and inspections were performed on the failed studs from valve SI-18908:

1. Visual inspection and photography of fracture surfaces,
2. Magnetic particle inspection of the uncracked portion of the two studs, as well as all remaining 14 studs from valve SI-1890B, and studs from sister valves SI-1890A, and 1890C; also, Unit 2 studs from valves SI-2890A, 2890B, and 2890C were inspected.
5. Tensile and hardness tests, and chemical analysis were performed on cracked studs from valve SI-18908.

) 4 Charpy V-notch tests were performed on the cracked studs from valve SI-18908 at 40*F, 80*F and 120*F.

6. Optical metallography was conducted of the microstructure of studs from SI-1890A and SI-1890B.

{ Test Results:

1. Visual inspection of fracture surfaces revealed stress corrosion

cracking at the root region of threads in 51-18906 similar in location and nature to the cracking previously observed in valve SI-241 (See Appendix A to this report). Cracking occurred at two locations along the stud length. Most of the cracks were located in the lower region of the studs just above, or at,- the interface with the bottom nut. This location would be the normal accumulation r point for moisture on the stud and the location of excess thread lubricant. One stud in 18908 cracked in the nut. This crack occurred in the upper portion of the stud and represents the only i crack found in the upper region. The location of the crack was 1 1/2" into the nut which was apparently holding water. Cracking in

( f e The 410 stainless steel studs which have failed were corroded (rusted). Such a condition occurs where there is significant chronic valve leakage and/or environmental conditions external to the valve. A microscopic analysis of the failed SI-18908 studs revealed a heavy rust buildup in the thread roots with localized pitting or "troughing" in the root. Stress corrosion cracks initiated from the pits and troughs and extended into the studs at { an initial angle equal to the thread pitch. One stress corrosion crack in a broken stud from SI-18908 had an aspect ratio of .1875"/1.406" (see Figure 1). A second broken sted had an aspect ratio of 0.032"/1.967", and this latter failure is assumed to have been a result of " load shed" from the initial failure. Crack growth rates are shown in Table 1 for IGSCC in studs for valves SI-241, SI-1890A and SI-18908. The pattern of broken studs in SI-18908 was alternating, i.e. two broken studs separated by one unbroken stud.

2. Magnetic particle inspection (MT) of the studs from the SI-1890 and SI-2890 valves revealed the following:

Valve Inspection Results F 4- 1890A 2 studs with MT indications 1890B 2 studs found broken, 1 stud broken when removed, 3 studs with MT indications

Il r 1890C 1 stud with MT indications (. 2890A No MT indications 2890B No[MTindications 2890C No MT indications

3. Mechanical test results from two (2) studs in SI-1890B are presented i- in Table 2, with data from 12 studs in SI-241 and one (1) stud from SI-2890A. The mechanical test results generally meet the minimum requirements of ASTM A193, Grade B6 except for the reduction in area (RA) valve for'SI-18908 which is 44.5% vs. the specification requirement of 50%. Figure 2 shows the abnormal shape of the tensile fracture. Note that the SI-2890A stud from the same heat as the SI-18908 stud met the minimum requirements with a RA value of 50.8%. Supplementary Charpy V-notch tests for 'SI-241 and SI-18908 studs show low notch toughness, with the fracture surface appearance indicating little or no shear fracture, as shown in Figure 3.

Supplementary hardness tests of all cracked studs indicate a scatter of hardness values between HRC 25 and 34. This indicates considerable variability in material properties, sometime across a single diameter of a single large stud. Bend tests performed on SI-241 and SI-1890A studs indicated poor ductility with bend angles between 0 and 17', and fracture 4 jlm/32/MCAV0Y

h k appearance being nearly 100% cleavage. (See Appendix Z to the major report, and Figure 3 to this report.) L These conditions indicate a temper embrittled 410 stailess steel material.

       . 4. Optical metallography of the microstructure of a stud sample from

[ SI-241, SI-18908 and SI-1890A indicates no abnormality, the structure is basically tempered martensite with zero percent ferrite. A microstructure from a SI-1890A stud is shown in Figure 4. t

5. The chemical analysis of the studs meets ASTM A193 Grade 86, requirements as shown in Table 3, with one minor variation, c Conclusion The failure mechanism observed in the SI-1890B valve involved the growth of
     , intergranular stress corrosion crack (s) to a point where the largest flaw reached critical size and the stud failed by rapid fracture.           During the failure a localized " load shed" to adjacent studs occurred.       This localized load -buildup in adjacent studs was the apparent cause of failure of one (1) additional stud with a stress corrosion crack in valve SI-18908, i

The low number of " load shed" fractures is due to: (1) the significant difference in ' net stress of surrounding studs, (2) the large variation in crack size from stud-to-stud, and (3) the number of uncracked studs in each valve spaced between cracked studs, jlm/32/MCAV0Y

L t p The IGSCC in valve SI-18908 studs, as well as those in valve SI-1890A and SI-241 was the result of the temper embrittled condition of the 410 S/S in L' conjunction with a moist environment and the copper thread lubricant. A very low K ISCC value is thought to be operative, so stress plays only a minor role in the failure, (i.e. the studs do not' require an over-torque condition for failure). Given: (1) the estimated fracture toughness of the temper embrittled valve studs (based on notch toughness values) of 30 Ksi d in, (2) a normal torque stress', (3) and a IGSCC crack growth rate of approximately 2 x 10-9 in/second,

       . these studs would be expected to fail in 5 years or less of service, where exposed to a corrosive environment.

a) SI-241 studs appear to be from the same heat. b) SI-2890A and 1890B studs appear to be from the same heat. It therefore appears that only two. heats of material are involved in the SCC failures in the two and possibly three valves.

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS: (

Purpose:

To deterine the stud Stress level and leakage rate for VEPC0's 6 inch check valve 241 (in the broken condition). This valve had three stud failures and two cracked studs and the potentisi for excessive leakage or failure existed if flow would have been initiated through the valve. Summary of Results: The minimum gasket load for the br6 ken stud configuration (assuming the cracked ( studs break) at T = 1700F, P .= 03 psi is 82% of the gasket load for the. no broken stud case. This residual gasket load should be adequate to prevent leakage if flow had been f nitiated thrcugh the Valve. The stud stresses for the low preload - condition satisfy both the Nomal a9d Faulted condition stress limits, liowever, for the high pecicad condition, the stud stresses can satisfy only the faulted condition stress limith Cracked studs, of course, do not meet ASME criteria. See pages 33 & 34 for a more detailed sut,rnary. Note: The design data used in this anlaysis is based on cor.Nr$,tionE with VEPCC Engineers (Joe McAvoy), gasket manufacturers (Dick White), and valve vendors (Chris Ulley). The information received from these in.dividuals is assi>med to be correct and any deviation from this informathn will invalidate the conclusions of this analysis. a- - __ .= :: = THE FOLL%G CpMTUTER CODES DAVE BEEN USED iN ThtS DOCUtKNf: 6 COct / VERSloiu REV Cl)oE / VEPsiCN / RE'i ANSTS/4/1C _ m y m _f q ,-. mu>w en PAGF- h OF 3

1) Task 39 - Examination of Safety Injection System Studs
2) Task 43 - Structural Integrity of Valve 241

Dear Joe:

Virginia Power authorized B&W to perform laboratory analysis on studs from low head safety injection system valve 241. Prior to completion of the laboratory analysis, B&W was also authorized to perform a structural analysis of the valve to determine its structural integrity with a degraded bolt pattern. The integrity analysis was completed prior to the final results from the failure analysis of the studs. used in the integrity analysis wasThe based number of failed studs on preliminary results(5) of the failure analysis. Final results from the failure analysis showed that additional studs (up to 3) may have partial cracks. The purpose of this letter is to document B&W's engineering judgement that the structural integrity of valve 241 would not be breeched with only four (4) studs remaining in service. The model developed for the analysis performed under reference (2) assumed that there were no more than three consecutive cracked studs. The model also assumed symmetry, le the computer runs is made looking at only half of.the valve. The criteria for the analysis were that the gasket preload remain greater than 70% of the ~ no broken studs case and that the load in the remaining studs be less than yield strength of the stud material. For initial conditions of low stud preload and 93 psi system pressure, the gasket load is 82% with three broken studs and the load in the remaining studs is less than yield. This meets the criteria. The final results of the failure analysis indicated that there is the possibility that there may be a span of four consecutive broken studs. The model was rerun assuming a span of four broken studs. The results of this analysis showed that the gasket load is reduced to 70% and that the load in the remaining studs is less than yield. These results meet the criteria, but the gasket load is marginal and some, as yet unquantified, leakage may occur under these conditions.

one of the studs which exhibited potential cracks was tested under tensile load. The stud did not yield when subjected to loads greater than 104,000* pounds force. This indicated that the actual conditions are closer to those as originally modeled, le no worse than three consecutive missing studs. It is B&W's opinion that valve 241 would have maintained its structural integrity with no appreciable leakage in the event low head safety injection had been initiated. I trust this letter will meet your needs, but should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to call me.

FRACTURE MECHANICS ANALYSIS FOR

        ,                           STUDS IN SI-241 Purpose Based on B&W analysis presented in Appendix C to this report the integrity of the studs in SI-241 which exhibit incipient IGSCC was to be determined by a fracture mechanics analysis.

It is the purpose of this analysis to establish:

1) The initial stress / torque level for failed studs based on the flaw size at failure.
2) The affect of small flaws on the ability of the 410 S/S studs to carry load, and thus the applicability of the B&W analysis to this problem.

Enown The following information was known at the time of this analysis.

1. Flaw size at failure stud #2 is .44" deep by 1" long
2. ' Flaw size at failure in (lab) for stud #6 is .315" deep by .866" long
3. Flaw size at failure (lab) for stud #8 is .094" deep by .555" long
4. Failure load for stud #6 was 61,600 lbs.
5. Failure load for stud #8 was 123,000 lbs.
6. Stud #6 showed a very large size indication by liquid penetrant test JMM/jlm/021/MCAVOY f:

F 7. Stud #8 showed an intermediate size indication by liquid penetrant test

8. Studs #12, #1, and #11 showed small size indications by liquid.

penetrant test i .

9. Charpy V-notch values at 70*F were 14 ft lbs for two studs
10. Area at root for SI-241 studs is .929"'

11, ' Reported torque for SI-241 studs is'700 foot lbs

              '12.      For B&W Model #1, the maximum stud stress                    m&b is obtained which
                       .is 94.9 Ksi (B&W analysis, Appendix C to the major report, page 36) for the 2480 psi case with preload of 700 ft ".bs
13. For B&W Model #1, the maximum stud stress Em&bforthetwocases at 93 psi is: 115.1 Ksi for 950 f t lbs preload, and 93.3 Ksi for 700 ft lbs preload. (Same reference as 12. above)

Problem Solution

  • A. Problem #1, Initial Torque level.
                ' 1. From the B&W analysis it is known that with a high preload (950 ft lbs) on studs at low pressure the total stress [ m&b would be very high and in the range of 115 Ksi.                  Since stud #6 failed in the lab at 61,600 lbs, which is 66,308 psi, the preload was much less than 950 ft lbs
2. Stud #2 failed in service and is thought to have been the initial K

s k A Relationsnips:

a. From Barsom and Rolfe (1), there are several approximations for K when IC CV-notch data are known to be at or near the lower energy shelf.

(1) K IC = (E) (A) (CVN) A=5 E = 30 x 10 6 (2) K IC = .45 Tys din

b. For a cracked stud, R.C. Cipolla (2) has presented a method of determining the relationship between the crack depth "a", the stress intensity factor K g and the stress (net) 7. 3 In figures 4 and 5 of paper D 7/2 " Application of Fracture Mechanics In the Assessment of Threaded Fastener Integrity" (presented at SMIRT-8 Conference, Brussels Belgium, August 1985), this relation is shown as:

F = Ky y EsJTra Where F 1 is an non-dimensional stress intensity factor for a number of aspect ratios, a/l of 0, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2. Calculations:

a. Use tensile test of stud #6 from 51-241 as a check on the estimation procedure for determining values of toughness in 410 S/S studs in tension.

c. Also, as stated previously: K gg=.457ysyin K

IC = 56.25'ksi h ,

d. From Cipolla for a 1 1/2" stud,12 U;iF for a crack depth of 0.315 (use value at 0.12" where curve goes flat), for crack -location cer.ter L and crack edge location , the values of F -for _ an aspect ratio of .315/.866 (0.364) are:

                    -F center = 0.70 For 8 UNF vs.12 UNF for 1 1/2" studs the K y ratio from Table C-4 and Table C-3 is 1.04 (1/2.790 vs.1/2.673).

The studs were actually under-torcucd rathar t!.cn f over-torqued. B. Problem 2, affect of small flaws on stud integrity: This question is answered directly from the laboratory tensile tests with stud #8. This stud had an intermediate size indication 0.094" deep by 0.555" long and failed at a load of 123,000 pcunds. This load results in i a stress of 132,400 psi. Since it is concluded that studs dl, dil, and

           #12 had more shallow and shorter defects than stud *8 it is kncwn that these studs would have exhibited similar tensile / fracture characteristics.

Since it has also been concluded from A. above that studs in valve SI-241 l had a low preload (torque) at failure it is concluded that the B&W JMM/jlm/021/MCAVOY 'I f ro calculations are valid. This work establishes that' studs #1, #8, #11 and

                        #12 would not have failed under loads as high as those calculated by B&W
)                       as I m&b. Stud #6 may not have failed under high pressure stress due to low preload, but this was considered to have occurred in B&W Model #2 and the results were acceptable with no affect upon valve safety.

SURRY 410 S/S STUD BEND TESTS f Test Method ! . Studs and . bolts of 410 stainless steel were subjected to a notched bar bend tests to: (1) determine the presence of stress corrosion cracks, and (2) )' serve as a qualitat;ve indicator of ductility. This test was employed because field hardness tests had initially demonstrated excessive scatter with large studs, and UT tests were determined to be incapable of finding small IGSCC flaws. Studs tested were in the size range of 3/8" diameter to 1 7/8" diameter. Bend tests were conducted with both unmodified studs, and with studs which were modified by milling to a thickness of 1/4" to 5/16" between thread root and flat surface. Normally, studs in the size range 3/8" diameter to 9/16" diameter were tested unmodified. Studs 5/8" diameter to 1 7/8" diameter were sawed or milled on one surface to ob'tain the test cross section. Test sample configuration is shown in Figure 1, and as-bent stud configuration is shown in Figure 2. Bends were conducted using a holding fixture with a 90 surface to the specimen long axis. This configuration produced'a cantilevered support. The bend test specimens were then subjected to several hamer blows perpendicular to the specimen long axis. Either a two (2) pound or an eight.(8) pound maul was employed depending on specimen cross sectional area. The force of the hammer blows deformed the bend specimen resulting in a crack or tear at the thread root adjacent to the holding fixture. Where stress corrosion cracks were present, the specimen could crack at any location above the holding fixture. Once cracked, the bend specimen failed by one of several modes depending upon ductility. JMM/jmj/0M4-69

1 l I Test Results The most brittle specimens failed by cleavage with no fiberous fracture and no shear lips and with a bend angle at failure of 0 to 4* as shown in Figure 3. These samples were indexed to a high tensile strength and very low notch l l

 }       toughness by Charpy V-notch tests (see Table 1).        Specimens slightly more ductile failed by cleavage, but demonstrated incipient shear lips as shown in i

Figure 4. Such materials demonstrated slightly higher Charpy V-notch toughness than the preceding material, and bend angles at failure were in the range of 14* to 17 . These were the only materials found at Surry to demonstrate stress corrosion cracking.

        -All remaining bend samples failed at angles from 22 to 66 , and demonstrated fractures surfaces with varying degrees of cleavage and fiberous fracture, and showed shear lips of different sizes. This is shown in Figures 5 and 6.           The least ductile of th'e materials, produced bend angles of 22            or 23*, nearly 100% cleavage fracture, but with defined shear lips. These few samples were considered temper embrittled (though to a lesser degree than material which was known to have cracked), and marginal in performance.

The best of the materials consistently produced bend angles of 30* or above with seine fiberous fracture and with shear lips. Materials tested on a vendor-by-vendor basis produced a similar cluster of test results as shown in Table 1. . Conclusion It was concluded from the bend tests that no studs in the size range from.3/8" through 3/4" exhibited stress corrosion cracking. Studs which did exhibit JMM/jmj/0M4-69

F i stress corrosion cracking by the bend test were 1 7/8" diameter, and from h valve SI-1890A. Studs from valve SI-241 were previously known to have cracked and no bend tests were conducted with the cracked studs. It was also concluded that the notched (threaded) bar bend test would provide a qualitative indication of ductility which was indexable to other test results such as hardness tests, tensile tests, and Charpy V-notch tests. Studs tested by this technique which were known to have shown stress corrosion cracking produced bend angles of 0* to 17 , and always failed in a cleavage fracture mode with no shear Tips or only incipient shear lips. This low degree of ductility was considered an indicator of temper embrittlement. Other 410. stainless steel studs, which were employed in similar corrosive environments at Surry, indicated greater ductility by the bend test and were free of stress corrosion cracks. Small diameter studs (<3/4" diameter) were considered acceptable; however, 5/8" diameter studs marked VB6-JC were only marginal in performance. Also some large studs, 1 7/8" diameter, marked VB6 - demonstrated only marginal ductility. For small diameter studs (<3/4") hardness test results were directly indexable to bend test results, and it is concluded that small diameter studs with hardness of HRC 29 or less will demonstrate adequate ductility. With adequate ductility it is concluded that the stud is free of temper embrittlement and should not be subject to IGSCC in environments encountered in bolted connections at Surry Power Station. J.
