GB 5310 15CrMoG high pressure seamless boiler tubes

15CrMoG alloy pipe

15CrMoG is a high-alloy steel grade widely used in the manufacturing of boiler tubes and pressure vessels, particularly for applications that require high strength and resistance to oxidation and corrosion at elevated temperatures.

15CrMoG steel tubes are also used in:

  • Hydraulic props
  • High-pressure gas cylinders
  • Chemical fertilizer plants
  • Petroleum cracking

15CrMoG is GB 5310-95 steel grade (equivalent to 13CrMo44 of Federal Germany; corresponding to 1Cr-1 / 2Mo and 1 1 / 4cr-1 / 2mo-si steel widely used in various countries in the world). Its chromium content is higher than 12CrMo steel, so it has higher thermal strength at 500-550 ℃. When the temperature is higher than 550 ℃, the thermal strength of 15CrMoG steel is significantly reduced. When it runs at 500-550ec for a long time, it does not produce graphitization, but it will produce carbide spheroidization and redistribution of alloy elements, which all lead to the decrease of the thermal strength of steel. 15CrMoG steel has good relaxation resistance at 450 ℃. Its pipe making and welding process performance is good.

Additionally, various testing methods, including non-destructive testing and physical and chemical testing, are employed to ensure that the product meets the required quality standards.

What is a seamless pipe used for?

Seamless steel pipe is regularly used in the transportation of fluids such as water, natural gas, waste and air. It is also regularly required in many high-pressure, high-corrosive environments such as in the oil & gas, power generation and pharmaceutical industries. Some common uses of seamless pipes include:

Inspection

Chemical composition inspection, mechanical properties test(tensile strength,yield strength, elongation, flaring, flattening, bending, hardness, impact test), surface and dimension test,no-destructive test, hydrostatic test.

PMI

identification of the chemical composition of the metal used to manufacture the fitting. Uses PMI sensors, including X-ray fluorescence or optical emission spectrometry.

Delivery

Steel pipe delivery status(condition)

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 general cold strip mills, volume should go through continuous annealing (CAPL unit) to eliminate cold hardening and rolling stress, or batch annealing reach the mechanical properties of the corresponding standard specifies. Cold rolled steel surface quality, appearance, dimensional accuracy better than hot-rolled plate, and right-rolled thin product thickness is about 0.18mm, so the majority of users favor.

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.
