1.0 INTRODUCTION

The internal surfaces of the NSS14 reactor vessel were overlayclad with a single layer of stainless steel using the BW six wireprocess. The consumables were prior tested to a minimum chemistryrequirement of 19% chromium and 9% nickel. The contractual analysisrequirements for the production overlay were 0.087. carbon max., 17%chromium min., and 7 nickel min., with a minimum ferrite contentin the deposit of 5%. Initial cladding of the I.D. surfaces of thevessel was performed in December 1970 with the overlay of the A181Lower Head Dome to Dutchman Transition Forging Assembly. The A170Shell Assembly was clad in February 1971 and the A169 VesselFlange to Nozzle Belt Assembly was completed in April 1971. Eachassembly was liquid penetrant inspected after performance of anintermediate post weld heat treatment with no significant defectcondition detected.

As a result of the Oconee incident, it was decided to remove theflow vanes installed in the lower head of the vessel. After removalof the vanes a liquid penetrant inspection was performed of the locallyground areas to verify the integrity of the newly exposed claddingsurfaces. Rejectable indications were obtained in these areas whichinitiated a comprehensive repeat inspection of the entire six wirecladding in the vessel. This inspection revealed a general claddingproblem with rejectable penetrant indications being discovered ineach clad component.

An investigation of the defect condition and the conclusionsreached are described below.

2.0 CLADDING HISTORY AND INSPECTION RESULTS

2.1 Consumables

Three consumable combinations were used for six wire cladding ofthe NSS14 reactor vessel., The qualification records for theseconsumables are shown in Attachment A. The area of application ofeach consumable combination is as shown below.

Each of the combinations produced a six wire deposit that compliedwith the internal qualification requirement of 19% chromium and 9Znickel minimum. The combinations were thus tolerant of a maximumdilution condition in production overlay operations, consistent withmeeting a required 0.08% max. carbon content.

2.2 Penetrant Inspection History After Discovery Of Problem

The initial rejectable penetrant indications in the areas whereflow vanes had been removed were rounded in appearance. Furthergrinding and re-inspection of these areas revealed numerous smallrandomly oriented linear defects. As a result of this discovery, acomplete inspection was performed of the cladding on the dutchmantransition forging. Linear indications were detected over 90%of the cladding surface, the condition becoming more apparent aftergrinding of the as-deposited surface. Two areas located 900 apartwere then probed to determine the cladding thickness on thedutchman forging. The values obtained established the thickness tobe in the vicinity of 0.230", which is slightly below the normalexpected thickness for this process. A complete inspection was thenperformed of the lower head dome, after buffing of the surface toachieve a clean condition. Linear indications were detected inareas occupying approximately 3. of the dome surface.

Four bands located 900 apart were subsequently inspected alongthe length of the vessel i.e. from the vessel flange to.the dutchmantransition forging. iNumerous rejectable linear indications werediscovered at this time in the core region shell cladding. Thisdiscovery initiated a 100% inspection of the six wire cladding inthe core region and nozzle belt resulting in the detection oflinear indications in both components. It should be noted thatinspection of the nozzle belt cladding showed mainly acceptablerounded indications. Grinding of the surface then revealed a linearcondition on repeat penetrant inspection.

2.3 Production Cladding Chemistry

The laboratory records for the vessel cladding are shown inAttachment B. Review of this data shows acceptable chemistry valuesfor each of the clad assemblies. The data also indicates valueswhich are generally in excess of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It wouldthus appear from this data that dilution was not excessive duringcladding of the vessel.

2.4 Ferrite Survey Of Dutchman Transition Forging

On discovery of linear penetrant indications over 90% of thecladding surface in:the dutchman transition forging it was decided toestablish whether hot cracking was the operative mechanism for thecondition detected. A ferrite survey was therefore made at 6" incrementsof the six wire cladding deposited on the dutchman transition forgingand immediate adjacent beads on the lower head dome. Ten beads inall were inspected, the results of the survey being shown in AttachmentC. Included in the sketches are the areas which showed the worst

penetrant indications. It is apparent from these records that thedefect condition was equally prevalent in areas containing 10% ferriteas in other areas with lower measured values.

2.5 Check Analysis Of Cladding In Defective Areas

Four samples were removed for analysis from defective regions inthe dutchman cladding. The results obtained and the locations of thesamples are shown below.

BEAD # LOCATION %C %Cr 70Ni 7.JIn 70S

4 Z Axis 0.061 18.97 8.63 1.70 0.0118 Y Axis 0.064 19.09 8.67 1.53 0.0088 Z Axis 0.077 17.78 8.10 1.50 0.017

10 W Axis 0.073 17.59 8.14 1.85 0.008

Respective ferrite predictions of 8%, 9%, 6% and 6% wereobtained for the four samples. The latter two values do indicate areasonably high dilution condition. It is therefore possible thatsome of the linear penetrant indications in the dutchman claddingwere fissures associated with boundary regions locally denuded inferrite phase. Values of 8% and 9% ferrite are too high to suggesta hot cracking mechanism and may be indicative of similar defectsto those observed in the nozzle belt cladding. Since no sampleswere removed for metallographic examination, however, it is impossibleto define the exact nature and type of defects present in this assembly.

2.6 Defect Removal

Local probe grinding indicated that the defects were confinedto the surface region of the cladding and could be removed with aremnant cladding thickness in excess of the minimum requirement of1/8". Grinding was performed until an acceptable penetrant conditionwas established throughout the vessel. The maximum defect conditionoccurred in the lower head assembly where 0.060 inches had to beremoved to achieve an acceptable penetrant inspection. Defect depthsin the core region and nozzle belt cladding were found to be somewhatshallower, an acceptable penetrant condition being achieved afterremoval of 0.030 - 0.040".

3.0 TEST PROGRAM

3.1 Examination Of SS14 And Other Production Six Wire Cladding

3.1.1 Two nozzle cutouts from the NSS14 reactor vesselwere removed from bonded storage and penetrant inspected afterperformance of a buffing operation. Linear indications were discoveredin the cladding deposited on these cutouts, which was similar inappearance to indications observed in the reactor vessel. Ametallographic examination was performed of areas showing penetrantindications in order to establish the nature and type of defectspresent in the cladding.

views of the defects and indicate that the defects are interdendriticwith entrapped slag also present. The defects are not associated withregions locally dnuded in ferrite phase. Work done at the AllianceResearch Center Ci on samples from the same cutouts also confirmsthe presence of slag in the defects and a completely normal distributionof ferrite phase in the vicinity of the defects.

The failure to det'ect the presence of these surface defectsduring the inspection cycle performed after an intermediate post weldheat treatment is disturbing. It has been the experience of Mt. VernonWorks that defects in six wire cladding (including fissuring createdby high dilution) are rarely detected at this stage of fabrication.Problems are normally detected only after multiple heat treatment cycles.The extent of a defect condition is also rarely established until asurface grinding operation has been performed to remove the as-depositedsurface. It was therefore decided to thermally cycle samples of NSS14cladding in a similar manner to that which occurs during production heattreatment, in order to establish whether the heat treatment cycles alterthe defect size or appearance. Figures 5 and 6 show defects that weredetected by dye penetrant inspection after performance of the heattreatment. Significant scale buildup has occurred but it would appearthat no growth or major alteration has occurred as a result of heattreatment.

4.1.2 Production Cladding Samples

Metallographic examination of the four production nozzle beltcutouts failed to reveal any evidence of defects similar to thosedetected in the NSS14 reactor vessel cladding. Extensive samplingwas performed of each cutout with special emphabis being placedon specimen removal from locations with varying ferrite contents.Isolated instances of surface fissures were observed with the majority -of the defects falling in a depth range of 0.001 to b.04". Figure10 shows the worst case defect condition observed, which was removedfrom NSS 9 cutout material that Dad been subjected to a 40 hour postweld heat treatment at 1100-1150 F.

5.0 DISCUSSION

Examination of production cladding from the NSS14 nozzle belt hasrevealed surface defects, which from location and appearance can be

categorized as interdendritic shrinkage. The present of entrappedslag further indicates that the defects formed during the weld metal

solidification process. Measurement of the ferrite content in the

samples and metallographic examination of the structure. show" an

adequate quality of ferrite phase adjacent to the suiface of thedefects. It would thus appear that this type of defect is no 'related

to hot cracking or fissuring commonly observed in austenitic-stainlessweld metals containing low quantities of low ferrite phase.

It is postulated that this type of defect would be expected tooccur most readily in a situation where heat input was at a maxim-mand very high weld pool tem peratures were created. Such conditionswould be conducive to rowth of a coarse dendritic structure and hencemaximu= chance of development of interdendritic shrinkage. The claddingthickness of the nozzle belt component was established to be in therange of 0.375 to 0,400", which would indicate that a deviation occurredfrom the prescribed process parameters during production cladding. Themost rational explanation for the observed thickness would be that thewelding head was not correctlyas timed and that a speed some whatslower than the requ ired lso have been used. Positioningof the head behind center postTron th respect to direction of rotationcan result in a significant increase iliclAding thickness, even withtravel speeds close to the required Location of the headpast center will also result in a stuat on where molten claddingwould tend to be concentrated under the arc, thereby reducing dilutionfrom the base material and increasing weld pool temperatures. It isthus believed that the most rational explanation for the defects inthe nozzle belt cladding is incorrect set up of the welding headdurin production welding. An attempt estae

Examination of the ferrite records for the lower head assemblyshows defects have occurred equally in cladding containing eithermoderate or high ferrite contents. The chip samples removed fromdefective regions in the six wire beads show Schaeffler predictionsof 6 to 97. ferrite. The 6% ferrite values would not rule out thepresence of a limited fissuring condition in certain areas of thelower head assembly, but the equal prevalence of penetrant indicationsin regions of high ferrite content suggests similar defects to thoselocated in the nozzle belt cladding may also have been present. Twocladding thickness.measurements were made in the lower head assmbly,which only indiat a hic es.i the vici 0_230

Small interdendritic shrinkage defects with entrapped slagwere detected in experimental deposits made with low travel speedsand increased voltages above the range prescribed for the proqess.The use of marginal increases in voltage above the rangecannot be ruled out as never occurring in production, especially ifsupervision is faced with a high dilution c4j_tio In a difficultcomoonemnt trn c a il c n dome nsebl h6hMh OMiil

These defects are not readily explained on the basis of the lowferrite content of the deposit, since they are not characteristic ofthe fissuring condition that would be normally expected. Thesefactors coupled with the detection of small shrinkage defects containingentrapped slag in cladding made with correct parameters raise thequestion of whether the six wire process is inherently susceptible toshrinkage type defects.

Review of the work done in the present study does indicate thatshrinkage defects of a size detectable by penetrant inspection canoccur in six wire cladding deposited with cnsiderable variations ofparameters. It is considered that the high heat input of this processmakes it particularly susceptible to solidification defects, whichmay prove impossible to totally eliminate during production claddingoperations. Further work is required, however, if it is desired toconclusively establish whether defect occurrence and magnitude show apositive correlation with welding parameters and practices used.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS

(1) Metallographic examination of NSS14 nozzle cutouts revealedthe presence of solidification defects at the surface of the cladding.It is believed that these defects are characteristic of interdendriticshrinkage and occurred in the latter stages of the weld metalsolidification process.

(2) The failure of penetrant inspection to detect these claddingdefects after an initial intermediate post weld heat treatment is notfully understood. The ability of penetrant inspection to reveal thecondition after grinding of te as-deposited surface in the nozzlecutouts, suggests that the problem is related to some surfacecharacteristic of the cladding. Penetrant inspection has also failedto reveal fissuring type defects in the past when the inspection wasperformed on the as-deposited surface after an initial heat treatment.Grinding of the surface also facilitates detection of this type ofdefect. It would therefore appear probable that a surface filmcondition must exist, which prevents entry of dye into a surface defect.

(3) It is believed that the type of defect observed duringmetallographic examination is most readily explained on the basis ofthe use of a practice leading to extremely high weld pool temperaturep.Experimentation to date is not complete, but does indicate that thesix wire process may be inherently susceptible to some extent to thistype of problem.

7.0 RECON-rENDATIONS

linear type detects in six wire cladding cannot be properly etecteduntil after removal of the as-deposited surface.

(3) A reviewq should be made by Welding Development personnel ofwhat data exists on the amperage values obtained with different lotsof 642CDG and.642CDK fluxes. Consideration should be given toevaluation of the effect of this variation on incidence of defect.

(4) The six wire process deposits cladding with thicknessconsiderably in excess of.minimum Equipment Specification requirements.An increase in travel speed to reduce this thickness is not possible ,because of a resultant deterioration in deposit quality. It is believedthat an evaluation should now be made to establish whether a red. jonin thickness can be achieved by usine reduced wire feed rates. lgi|
