ASTM A335 P91 steel
ASTM A335 P91 steel is an improved 9Cr-1Mo steel. When V, Nb and other alloy elements are added into the original 9Cr-1Mo martensitic steel, the allowable stress at 550-650 ℃ is significantly higher than that of 10CrMo910 and TP304 steel. Compared with 10CrMo910 steel, under the same temperature and pressure conditions, the pipe wall thickness can be reduced by 50%. The recommended use temperature of A335 P91 steel is below 650 ℃, A335 P91 steel has good high temperature resistance and resistance Corrosion and creep resistance,
ASTM A335 P91 steel pipe can be used in high pressure environment with steam temperature over 600 ℃.
Material properties of ASTM A335 P91:
At present, A335 P91 material has been widely used in reheater, superheater header, nozzle seat and steam pipeline of subcritical and supercritical power station boilers. A335 P91 belongs to martensitic heat strength steel. The pipe made of P91 steel has good mechanical properties, high temperature resistance and creep resistance.

Analysis of welding performance of ASTM A335 P91
In alloy steel, in addition to carbon elements, other elements also play an important role in the strength and weldability of steel pipes. The carbon equivalent of A335 P91 refers to the welding carbon equivalent, which is calculated according to the following formula:
Ceq=C+Mn/6+(Cr+V+Mo)/5+(Cu+Ni)/15
Where CEQ is carbon equivalent
Therefore, the carbon equivalent of A335 P91 pipe CEQ = C + Mn / 6 + (Cr + V + Mo) / 5 + (Cu + Ni) / 15 = 0.08 + 0.30 / 6 + (8.0 + 0.18 + 0.85) / 5 + 0.4 / 15 = 1.9627
The middle value of carbon equivalent is 0.45. The smaller the corresponding carbon equivalent value is, the better the welding performance is. On the contrary, when the carbon equivalent value is larger, the worse the welding performance is. From the above calculation results of carbon equivalent of A335 P91 pipeline, it can be seen that 1.9627 is much larger than 0.45, so the welding performance of A335 P91 pipeline is poor.
Welding precautions:
1.The structure of A335 P9 steel is martensite, and the supply state is generally normalizing + tempering. It belongs to high alloy steel, which has poor weldability and is prone to cold cracks, embrittlement of welded joints, softening of HAZ area and other problems. Only in strict accordance with the process specification can satisfactory welded joints be obtained.
2. Welding and heat treatment temperature shall be strictly controlled, and welding with smaller parameters is the key point to ensure complete penetration of weld root.
3. The preheating temperature of heat treatment is moderate, and it should be controlled in the range of 150-200 ℃ as far as possible, which is conducive to the flow of molten iron in the weld pool, and overcomes the phenomenon of incomplete fusion and incomplete penetration at the root of weld due to the high Cr alloy is not easy to feed wire.

Hydrostatic Test
Each length of pipe shall be subjected to the hydrostatic test or nondestructive examination.
Mechanical Tests Required
Transverse or Longitudinal Tension Test and Flattening Test, Hardness Test, or Bend Test—For material heat treated in a batch-type furnace, tests shall be made on 5 % of the pipe from each treated lot.
For small lots, at least 1 pipe shall be tested. For material heat treated by the continuous process, tests shall be made on a sufficient number of pipe to constitute 5 % of the lot, but in no case less than 2 pipe.
Marking
In addition to the marking prescribed in Specification A 999/A 999M, the marking shall include the length, the ANSI schedule number and the heat number or manufacturer’s number by which the heat can be identified.
