| Abstract Scope |
Under US DOE project DE-NE0008521, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Westinghouse Electric Corporation have recently submitted an ASME Code Case and Data Package focused on 316L stainless steel manufactured by the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. If approved, the Code Case will for the first time allow additive manufacturing of pressure retaining components to be produced for nuclear applications under ASME BPV-III, Division 1 – Subsections NB/NC/ND, Class 1, 2, and 3. This paper covers the data package submitted to ASME BPV-III MF&E and discusses the relevance of applicable elements of the data package and Code Case. Pertinent information addressed includes: component build parameters, heat treatment, mechanical and microstructural properties, weldment-, inspection- and fatigue data, and proposed allowable stresses. |
