What is ASTM A335 P91?

ASTM A335 P91 is the part of ASTM A335, The pipe shall be suitable for bending, flanging, and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding. The steel material shall conform to chemical composition, tensile property, and hardness requirements.

The range of ASTM A335 P91 pipe sizes that may be examined by each method shall be subjected to the limitations in the scope of the respective practice.

It is designed for enhanced creep strength, making it a creep strength enhanced ferritic (CSEF). This metal is made by normalizing at 1050 °C, air cooling to 200 °C, and then tempered through heating to 760 °C. This process is the main reason behind P91’s creep strength and durability. P91 stands for the metal’s composition of 9% chrome and 1% molybdenum plus vanadium. The chrome increases temperature strength and oxidation resistance. The molybdenum increases the elasticity, resistance to wear, and high temperature creep strength. More characteristics to note of ASTM A335 P91 Type 2:

Chromium, or chrome, improves high-temperature strength and increases oxidation resistance. It is virtually irreplaceable in resisting oxidation at elevated temperatures. Chrome also raises the tensile, yield and hardness at room temperatures.

Molybdenum increases the strength, elastic limit, resistance to wear, impact qualities and hardenability. It increases the resistance to softening, restrains grain growth and makes chromium steel less susceptible to embrittlement. Moly is also the most effective additive for increasing high temperature creep strength, or creep resistance. It also enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and inhibits pitting.

Also present are smaller quantities of nickel and manganese which increase the hardenability of the steel.

The addition of Vanadium (V) and Columbium/Niobium (Cb/Nb) as well as the control of Nitrogen (N) greatly Improves Creep Strength.

More important than the alloying elements is the formation of this alloy steel. The steel is formed by normalizing at 1050 °C, then air cooling down to 200 °C. It is then tempered by heating to 760 °C. The temperatures and cooling rates produce the microstructure that results in the high creep strength properties.

Advantages of P91

SA 335 P91 or SA 213 T91 is the ultimate Ferrite Alloy steel that meets the extensive condition. Normally, the materials are used in many numbers of successful power plant service. Metal is also called as the 9 Cr 1 Mo steel with more composition. T22 or P22 grade is its predecessor but the Grade 91 mainly exhibits with the higher strength of temperature in the range of about 600 °C. Oxidation temperature mainly limits to higher features so it also effectively allows power plant designers to extensively engineer the components. In fact, it also effectively allows power plant designers for easily engineering the components with superheater coils, steam piping and headers as it mainly has less thickness. The metal also contributes higher thermal fatigue life that is ten times stronger when compared to other metals in much excellence. It also effectively allows to increase operating temperature at the higher level and increased efficiency at the power plant.

Normally, Alloy steel is not tolerant based on variations in the microstructure when compared to the P22 grade and other grades. Alloy steel is available in the difference that mainly contains the amount of carbon and iron. These are like the carbon steel along with it has other elements. Elements used in the Alloy steel mainly add manganese, silicon, chromium, vanadium, boron, and nickel. With more number of value composition about elements that are presented based on different ranges with more properties in the alloy steel. Normally, usage or application of alloy steel is to acquire the well-determined physical properties of the steel. The alloy steel falls into 2 types that include low alloy steels and high alloy steels. The Alloy steel is considered as the high alloy properties with the amount of the included elements belongs to the level of 8%. When these elements are combined with the range that is perforated in the below 8% value then it is called as low alloy steel. Low alloy steel is only used in most of the factories.

Alloy Steel P91 is manufactured based on precision and strict industry standard that mainly follows the heat treatment requirements. It is also reported that the failures of base materials are completely based on the different stages of usage. Alloy Steel P91 mainly used for different application with the extensive precision manufactured that are also complete reinstate with the microstructure to the high excellence. Alloy Steel P91 has properties much lower when compared to the predecessor P22. The effect of variation based on treatment on properties would be quite easier to analyze but it is not in the suitable for P91. Fabrication with construction phase mainly affects microstructure with reversed by precise heat treatment. In fact, it also brings microstructure back to original size and shape to the excellence. Alloy Steel P91 is decided based on tanker linings with complete prevalent consumption protection with high return quality and it also efficiently adds structures. With the variety of welding consumables along other national specifications enabled, P91 materials are widely used across for different aspects.

What is ASTM A335 material?

ASTM A335 is a standard specification for seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe intended for high-temperature service. This material is commonly used in power plants, refineries, and other industrial settings where high-temperature and high-pressure conditions are encountered. The "A" in ASTM A335 stands for "alloy," indicating that the pipe is made from alloy steel, which typically includes elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and sometimes vanadium to enhance its high-temperature properties.

Scope

Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable for bending, flanging (vanstoning), and similar forming operations, and for fusion welding. Selection will depend upon design, service conditions, mechanical properties, and high-temperature characteristics.

2 Several grades of ferritic steels (see Note 1) are covered. Their compositions are given in Table 1.
Note 1.. Ferritic steels in this specification are defined as low- and intermediate-alloy steels containing up to and including 10% chromium.

3 Supplementary requirements (S1 to S7) of an optional nature are provided. These supplementary requirements call for additional tests to be made, and when desired, shall be so stated in the order together with the number of such tests required.

4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the "M" designation of this specification is specified in the order.

Note The dimensionless designator NPS (nominal pipe size) has been substituted in this standard for such traditional terms as "nominal diameter", "size", and "nominal size".

Why the application of alloy steel pipe is wider than others

There are many kinds of materials used for transport in industrial production. Specifically we will have more choices and it is not limited to the use of alloy steel pipe. But even in the face of more choices, many people tend to choose alloy steel pipe. People make their own choices will have their own reasons. This means the alloy steel pipe application has its own advantages. Compared with transmission lines made of other materials, after it meets the basic application requirements, its quantity is lighter. Then in the practical application of alloy steel pipe, it will have more advantages because of this. Besides its physical characteristic advantage, it also has economic advantages. The wide application of alloy steel pipe is with kinds of reasons.

Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.

【H】 Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.

【H】 Rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe

The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.

【H】 Tubes Erosion Shields

Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.

【H】 ASTM A213 T91 Alloy Tube

The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
