Yes, ASTM A182 F911 is a high tech next-generation ferritic steel that has specifically been designed to work in ultra-supercritical (USC) and advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) power plants and is a great improvement in high-temperature creep behavior compared to standard F91 and even traditional chromium-molybdenum steels. F911 was designed in late 1990s and early 2000s under international collaborative research projects to raise power plant efficiency through allowing operation with even higher steam temperatures and pressures than were possible with F91, and it is now a valuable material in high-efficiency power generation.
The fundamental improvement of 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb base composition of F91 is the incorporation of tungsten (0.90-1.10%) and high nitrogen levels (0.040-0.090% compared to F91, 0.030-0.070%). These alloys, together with vanadium (0.18-0.25%) and niobium (0.06-0.10%) form highly fine and thermally stable precipitates, mostly vanadium nitride (VN), niobium carbide (NbC) and M23C6 carbides, which successfully lock dislocations and grain boundaries, greatly retarding the creep deformation at extremely high temperatures. This is a strengthening mechanism that has provided F911 with a creep rupture strength of about 20-30% higher than that of F91 at 600-620 o C.
The higher creep strength permits ultra-supercritical power plants to run at higher temperatures (up to 620-650 o C ) and pressures (ultra-supercritical over 25 MPa, advanced ultra-supercritical over 30 MPa) and have thermal efficiencies of 45-48%. This rise in efficiency is directly proportional to a decrease in fuel use and CO2 emissions - an important factor in the contemporary environmental-conscious generation of power and in efforts to mitigate climate change.
F911 is uniquely developed to serve the most challenging boiler to turbine (600-620 C, 25-32 MPa) main steam piping of a boiler-turbine plant, main steam or superheater-reheater header and by-pass piping in the highest-temperature areas, high-creep-strength thick-wall-header, and turbine bypass. It found application in ASME B16.34 Material Group 1.15 and ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code with well-established allowable stresses at high temperature service.
The addition of tungsten gives the high-temperature strengthening of the solid solution and the increased nitrogen provides the stability and distribution of VN precipitates. Proprieties of F911 are, high creep strength, fine oxidation resistance, sufficient toughness, and proper procedure weldability. But it has to be heat treated strictly (normalized at 1040-1080 o C, tempered at 730-800 o C), and qualified welding done because it is martensitic in structure. At higher temperatures (beyond 620-650 C) more sophisticated materials (e.g., F92 (9Cr-2Mo) or nickel-based alloys) will be suggested. F911 is the most recent development in ferritic steels to be used in ultra-supercritical power generation.

Let us support your projects with quality, precision, and performance.
F911 has additions of tungsten (0.90-1.10%) and more nitrogen (0.040-0.090) to the F91 base composition which give it about 20-30% higher creep rupture strength at 600 -620degC. F911 allows increased temperatures and pressures in ultra-supercritical power plants than F91. F91 can be used in supercritical applications to a maximum of 593degC with F911 being used to a maximum of 620-650degC.
Tungsten reinforces solid solutions in high temperatures and increases the stability of the precipitates (VN, NbC, M23C6). W addition is so much better in the creep rupture strength at temperatures higher than 593degC, which means that F911 is better than F91 in ultra-supercritical applications. Tungsten is also a high temperature oxidation resistant material.
F911 relies on finer VN, NbC and M23C6 precipitates formed in the tempering process to achieve higher creep strength. A normalization temperature of 1040-1080degC +-10degC should be used to obtain appropriate austenite grain size and tungsten distribution, and then tempered at 730-800degC in order to obtain ideal precipitate distribution. Deviations have a drastic effect on the creep strength and toughness.
F911 must have qualified welding processes according to ASME Section IX with similar consumables like AWS A5.5 E9018-B9, or others. The martensitic microstructure and precipitation hardening require minimum preheat temperature of 200-350degC, interpass temperature [?]350degC and compulsory post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) at 730-800degC of at least 1 hour per 25mm thickness.
Yes, to achieve a minimum of 41J of impact testing at 20 deg C, it is generally necessary to have ultra-supercritical power plant applications where good toughness of the tempered martensitic microstructure is required, particularly in thick sections and critical parts.
F92 has more molybdenum (1.30-1.70%), tungsten (1.50-2.00%), giving it better creep strength at temperatures over 620degC than does F911. F911 is less expensive and is generally qualified over a wider temperature range over the USC applications to 620degC; F92 is favored in advanced USC applications that demand the highest creep strength, which exceed 620-650degC.
ASME B16.5 specifies a minimum design temperature of F911 -29degC (-20degF). Impact testing is also needed to check sufficient toughness of the martensitic microstructure at lower temperatures. At temperatures (t) below -29degC further impact testing at the design temperature is required.
F911 flanges can be used continuously to 620-650degC (1148-1202degF) in ultra-supercritical power plants. At temperatures above this range, one should consider using more advanced materials like F92 or nickel based alloys that perform best in the long term creep.
