To enhance the economic competitiveness, high-Cr ferritic steels are adopted as the structural materials for JSFR, because the steels have both excellent high temperature strength and thermal properties. Among the high-Cr ferritic steels, modified 9Cr-1Mo steel (compatible to ASTM A213 T91) is a candidate of the structural material for the demonstration facility of JSFR, because the steel has superior microstructure stability at elevated temperature for long time. As for the steam generator tubes, to enhance the safety, straight double-walled tubes will be employed. In this study, the following technical issues were investigated; (1) Industrial manufacturability of thin-walled small bore tubes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel, (2) performance demonstration of the thin-walled small bore tubes, (3) industrial manufacturability of double-walled tubes using the thin-walled small bore tubes and (4) extraction of technical problems to manufacture the double-walled tubes for the JSFR steam generator. As a result, thin-walled small bore tubes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel were successfully manufactured by using the existing industrial facilities, up to 17m in length. The mechanical properties of the tubes satisfy the requirements from plant designing, as well as those from the material strength standards. Further, double walled tubes were also manufactured, up to 15m in length. The surface conditions of the tubes and the contact pressure between inner and outer tubes should be optimized.

By employing high-Cr ferritic steels to the structural materials for JSFR, a compact plant designing can be achieved. It contributes to reduce the construction cost and to enhance the freedom of designing. Among the high-Cr ferritic steels, modified 9Cr-1Mo steel (compatible to ASTM A335 P91) is a candidate of the structural material for the demonstration facility of JSFR, because the steel has superior microstructure stability at elevated temperature for long time. However, remarkable creep strength degradation has been observed in the welded joint of high-Cr ferritic steels, especially in long-term region. It is known as "Type-IV damage". In the elevated temperature designing for the fast reactors, such creep strength degradation must be taken into account properly. Therefore, the creep strength assessment procedure and the allowable stress for the welded joints made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel have been proposed. In this study, (1) a series of creep rupture tests to verify the validity of the creep strength assessment procedure was performed. (2) Applicability of the creep strength assessment procedure to the creep fatigue strength assessment of the welded joints made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel was investigated. (3) Metallurgical examinations of creep ruptured specimens were carried out to confirm the contribution of "Type-IV damage". As a result, it was demonstrated that the creep strength assessment procedure was validated using the long-term creep rupture test results less than 30,000h and that the creep strength assessment procedure was applicable to the creep-fatigue strength assessment based on some uniaxial creep-fatigue test results.
