Case 2010-3
Fe-22Cr-21Ni-18.5Co-La Alloy, UNS R30556, for
Code Construction
Section I
Inquiry: May solution-annealed alloy UNS R30556
wrought sheet, strip, plate, bar, welded pipe and tube,
and seamless pipe and tube, conforming to the specica-
tions listed in Table 1, be used in welded construction
under Section I?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that solu-
tion-annealed alloy UNS R30556 wrought sheet, strip,
plate, bar, welded pipe and tube, and seamless pipe
and tube, as described in the Inquiry, may be used in
welded construction complying with the rules of Section
I providing the following additional requirements are
met.
(a) The maximum allowable stress values for the
material shall be those given in Table 2. For welded
pipe and tube products, a joint efciency factor of 0.85
shall be used.
(b) Separate welding procedure qualications and
performance qualications, conducted in accordance
with Section IX, shall be required for this material.
(c) The y values [see PG-27.4, Note (6)] shall be
as follows:
(1) 1150F and below, y p 0.4
(2) 1200F, y p 0.5
(d) This Case number shall be shown on the docu-
mentation and marking of the material and recorded
on the Manufacturers Data Report.
CAUTIONARY NOTE: Austenitic alloys are subject to stress corro-
sion cracking, intergranular attack, pitting, and crevice corrosion
when used in boiler applications in aqueous environments. Factors
that affect the susceptibility of these materials are applied or residual
stress, water chemistry and deposition of solids, and material condi-
tion. Susceptibility to attack is enhanced when the material is used
in a sensitized condition, or with residual cold work. Concentration
of corrosive agents (e.g., chlorides, caustic, or reduced sulfur species)
can occur under deposits formed on the surface of these materials,
and can result in severe underdeposit wastage or cracking. For
successful operation in water environments, careful attention must
be paid to continuous control of water chemistry.

NOTE:
(1) Due to the relatively low yield strength of these materials, these
higher stress values were established at temperatures where the
short time tensile properties govern to permit the use of these
alloys where slightly greater deformation is acceptable. These
higher stress values exceed 66
2

3
%, but do not exceed 90% of
the yield strength at temperature. Use of these stresses may result
in dimensional changes due to permanent strain. These stress
values are not recommended for the anges of gasketed joints or
other applications where slight amounts of distortion can cause
leakage or malfunction.
