12Cr1MoVG alloy pipe

12Cr1MoVG alloy pipe

12Cr1MoVG is a high-strength, low-alloy steel often used in the manufacture of boiler tubes and other high-temperature components due to its excellent creep resistance and good weldability.

12Cr1MoVG is a low alloy, heat-resistant steel that was introduced from the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. It is commonly used for boiler main steam pipes. 12Cr1MoVG is a professional steel and is suitable for boilers or high temperature/pressure vessels. It is also used in bars, sheets, plates, steel coils, and steel pipes.

12Cr1MoVG is similar to 1.25Cr-0.5Mo, but with the addition of V. It is normalized and tempered at high temperatures. Its normal metal organization includes ferrite and pearlite. Compared with other low-alloy pearlitic heat-resistant steels, 12Cr1MoVG has better processability and higher thermal strength.

As the material's service time increases, its endurance performance deteriorates. For example, one study found that a 12Cr1MoVG steel main steam pipe spheroidized and deteriorated after 70,000 hours of service.

Application of 12Cr1MoVG alloy pipe:

12Cr1MoV is a high-quality structural steel known for its high strength, good weldability, and excellent resistance to oxidation and high temperatures. It is commonly used in the manufacture of power plant components, high-pressure pipes, and other applications that require good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

12Cr1MoVG is a type of low-alloy heat-resistant steel, which is widely used in high-pressure boilers, steam turbines, power plants, and other industries where high temperature and high pressure are present. It is particularly suitable for the production of large-scale power plant boiler pressure components and other high-temperature and high-pressure equipment, such as superheaters, reheaters, steam pipes, and headers. Its excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance make it an ideal material for these applications.

Main features of 12Cr1MoV

Compared with 12CrMoV steel, this steel has higher oxidation resistance and thermal strength. The creep limit of the steel is very close to the value of the endurance strength, and it has high plasticity under the condition of the endurance tension. The technology and weldability of the steel are good, but the preheating is required to 300℃ before welding, and the stress is removed after welding.

It is a kind of steel widely used in superheater, header and main steam pipe of high pressure, ultra high pressure, subcritical power station boiler. At 580℃, it still has high thermal strength, oxidation resistance and durable plasticity. The production process is simple and the welding performance is good, but it is sensitive to the normalizing cooling speed. Long-term use at 580℃ will result in the second kind of temper brittleness caused by the segregation of phosphorus and other impurities at grain boundary. Long–term use will also appear pearlite spherification.

What is the difference between 12Cr1MoV and 12CrMoV

All of them are pearlite type heat-resistant steel, which has high tissue stability and thermal strength when used in high temperature for a long time. Compared with 12Cr1MoV steel, Cr content is higher, with higher oxidation resistance and thermal strength. Creep limit is close to the endurance strength value and has higher plasticity under the condition of endurance tension. The technology and weldability of the steel are good, but the preheating is required to 300℃ before welding, and the stress is removed after welding.

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).

Condition on delivery of steel pipe

Term Symbol Explanation
Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn) BK No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability.
Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) BKW After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing) With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits.
Annealed GBK After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.
Normalized NBK The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum.

The most important and desired changes in alloy steel are

Alloy steels are made by combining carbon steel with one or several alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum. These metals are added to produce specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel. The elements are added in varying proportions (or combinations) making the material take on different aspects such as increased hardness, increased corrosion resistance, increased strength, improved formability (ductility); the weldability can also change.
