To improve the economics of critical components, such as receivers and heat exchangers, for Generation 3 (Gen 3) concentrating solar power (CSP) plants, research was conducted to understand how manufacturing impacts the high-temperature performance of various tube production routes. Gen 3 CSP components are expected to require the use of heat-resistant nickel- based alloys due to the elevated operating temperatures in designs carrying molten salt or supercritical CO 2 . INCONEL alloy 740H (alloy 740H) was investigated as an alternative to UNS N06230 (alloy 230) as it possesses superior high-temperature creep strength which can lead to overall reductions in material cost. A key challenge is understanding how autogenous seam welding with and without re-drawing can be used to manufacture thin-wall tubing for CSP receivers and heat-exchangers to further reduce costs over traditional seamless production routes. Alloy 740H welded tube was successfully fabricated and re-drawn to several relevant tube sizes. Since traditional mechanical testing samples could not be removed from the thin-wall tubing, full-sized tubes were used for tensile, fatigue, and vessel testing (internally pressurized creep- rupture) which was critical to understanding the weld performance of the manufactured product forms. The generated vessel test data exhibited a creep strength reduction when compared to wrought product with no clear trend with temperature or test duration. It was found that redrawing the welded tubes improved the creep strength to approximately 82% of the wrought material performance and elevated temperature tensile and fatigue behavior exceeded 85% of the design minimums. Detailed, post-test characterization found that nano-sized carbides formed during the laser seam-welding process remained stable after multiple solution-annealing steps, which restricted grain growth, and impacted the time-dependent performance. This paper will focus on the time-dependent behavior of the examined welded and redrawn tubes, supporting metallographic evidence, and give perspective on future considerations for using alloy 740H in CSP components.
