Case 1997-4
UNS N08367 Material
Section VIII, Division 1
Inquiry: Under what conditions may solution an-
nealed UNS N08367 material with the chemical compo-
sition listed in Table 1 and the tensile properties
listed in Table 3, and otherwise conforming to the
requirements of Specications SB-366, SB-462, SB-
564, SB-675, SB-676, SB-688, SB-690, or SB-691, as
applicable for the product form (see Table 2), be used
in the construction of vessels and parts under the rules
of Section VIII, Division 1?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the
material described in the Inquiry may be used for both
welded and unwelded construction under the rules of
Section VIII, Division 1, provided the following addi-
tional requirements are met.
(a) The maximum allowable design stress values in
tension shall be those listed in Table 4.
(b) For external pressure design, Fig. NFN-12 of
Section II, Part D shall be used.
(c) Welding Procedure Qualications and perform-
ance qualications shall be conducted as prescribed in
Section IX. The material shall be considered to be P-
No. 45.
(d) Heat treatment after forming or welding is neither
required nor prohibited. However, if heat treatment is
applied, the solution annealing treatment shall consist
of heating to a minimum temperature of 2025F and
then quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other
means.

(e) All other requirements of Section VIII, Division
1, Part UNF, as applicable, shall apply.
(f) The material shall be identied with this Case
number, and the Case number shall be shown on the
Manufacturers Data Report.
