Comparing materials for high-temperature steam piping
The use of X20 and P91 in power stations
ByP.K. Saha
January 16, 2003
Of all the materials used for high-temperature steam piping, X20 (12 percent chromium, 1 percent molybdenum, 1/4 percentvanadium) and P91 (9 percent chromium, 1 percent molybdenum, 1/4 percent vanadium) stand out because of their very high creep
rupture properties, even at elevated temperatures.
X20 was introduced in the 1950s in Germany and used in steam lines operating at
temperatures of 530 degrees C and higher for fossil fuel-fired power generating sets of150 megawatts and more. However, two factors limited its use: the extreme care
needed for its fabrication and welding and its noninclusion in the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code B31.1.
P91, introduced in the 1980s in the U.S., has both very high strength at elevatedtemperatures and good fabrication properties. These features have made P91 the
material of choice for high-temperature steam and other, similar noncorrosiveservices.

11/15
The U.S. had been trying to develop a new material since the middle 1970s tobridge the gap between ferritic P22 and austenitic steels with respect to creep
rupture strength for high-temperature service from 540 to 600 degrees C.Development of any new material, especially for high-temperature service, requires many years, because creep rupture strengths are
established based on longtime exposure to a range of intended service temperatures.
As a result of these developmental efforts, a new material, designated P91, was introduced in the U.S. in the 1980s by Oak RidgeNational Laboratory (ORNL, www.ornl.gov), assisted by Combustion Engineering. This material has proven to have such good
strength and fabrication properties that the use of X20 has practically been discontinued in Europe. In fact, even renovations of oldpower plants are being made with P91 material for steam circuits operating in the creep range.
P91 is a modified form of P9 (9 percent chromium, 1 percent molybdenum) steel. The steel can have low impurity limits, thanks to the
development of processes such as argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) and electroslag remelting (ESR), which make the steel behaveconsistently during fabrication and resist the effects of aging. When properly heat-treated as specified in ASTM specification A335,
the steel acquires room temperature properties as shown in Figure 1.
The steel has high creep rupture strength because of the precipitation of submicroscopic vanadium and niobium carbonitrides. Lowcarbon content aids its fabrication characteristics. The material responds well to hot and cold bending, as well as to welding.

P91 and X20 both are martensitic steels with similar transformationbehavior (see Figure 2). Martensite formation temperature for P91 is about
400 degrees C. Welding of P91 steel is, therefore, carried out below thistemperature using preheat and interpass temperatures in the range of 200 to
300 degrees C.
The maximum hardness in the weld metal and heat-affected zone in as-welded condition is about 450 HV10, which is lower than thatof X20 (greater than 500 HV10). Heavier-wall P91 components may be cooled to room temperature after welding. The joint should,
however, be kept dry after welding until postweld heat treatment is complete to avoid stress-corrosion cracking caused by the presenceof humidity.6
Martensite formation temperature for X20 is about 300 degrees C, so welding may be carried out either at 250 degrees C (just below
the martensite formation temperature) or in the nontransformation range beyond 400 degrees C. The higher temperature helps preventhigh hardness values and the attendant risk of cracking during welding. In any case, except for very thin-wall components, X-20 weld
deposit must be cooled down to about 100 degrees C and held there for at least one hour for the transformation of austenite into
martensite to be complete. The component then is subjected to a tempering treatment at between 730 and 760 degrees C for at leasttwo hours.7
Typical welding consumables recommended for P22, X20, and P91 are shown in Figure 3, and typical nondestructive testingpractices recommended for P91 are shown in Figure 4.
Following are some considerations that influence a choice between P91 andX20:
1. Allowable stress, per ASME B31.1 code, is the same for both P91 andX20 at 540 degrees C. The allowable stress is increasingly higher for
P91 at higher temperatures. Therefore, any advantages of X20 based onits lower thickness requirement can be obtained by using P91 at 540
degrees C and higher.2. Use of X20 demands extreme care in fabrication and welding of the
piping components. Important parameters include induction heating of
thicker weld joints; special cooling and storage of bends before heattreatment; low-speed grinding performed intermittently to prevent
Figure 2P91 (top) and X20 (bottom) both are martensitic steels
with similar transformation behavior.
Figure 3Several brands of welding consumables can be used
with P22 and P91, while only one brand is
recommended for use with X20.
