DIN 17175 15MO3 Seamless steel tubes

DIN 17175 15Mo3 seamless steel tubes are heat-resistant tubes made from high-grade materials. They are used in applications where high temperatures are involved, such as the petrochemical, chemical, and power industries. These tubes are known for their excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, and resistance to oxidization and corrosion.

15Mo3 seamless steel tubes comply with the DIN 17175 standard, which specifies the technical delivery conditions for seamless tubes made from high-grade materials such as heat-resistant steels. These tubes have a circular cross-section and are available in a range of dimensions and materials.

The chemical composition of the 15Mo3 seamless steel tubes includes elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, and molybdenum. The tubes are produced using advanced manufacturing techniques such as cold drawing, cold rolling, and hot rolling. They undergo various heat treatment processes to enhance their mechanical properties and improve their performance in high-temperature applications.

The DIN 17175 15Mo3 seamless steel tubes are often used in steam boilers, pipelines, and pressure vessels in the petrochemical, chemical, and power industries. They are also used in processing equipment for the production of chemicals, fertilizers, and other products. These tubes are ideal for high-temperature applications and can withstand extreme pressures, making them a popular choice in harsh industrial environments.

DIN 17175 15Mo3 seamless steel tubes offer excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance, making them a reliable and durable choice for various industrial applications.

Process performance

The tube should meet the requirements of the ring test. For the expansion rate (diameter change) of the ring-shaped flaring experiment, no impermissible defects (such as cracks, crepe, folding, and delamination) shall occur during the test.

Surface condition

The tube must have a manufacturing method that achieves a relatively smooth inner and outer surface, so that it is possible to use either a hot rolling method or a cold rolling method. Tubes should not have unacceptable cracks, creases and folds. As long as the wall thickness of the steel pipe does not exceed the allowable dimensional deviation, and does not affect the performance of the steel pipe, it is permissible to create some uneven and shallow longitudinal scratches during the manufacturing process. Mechanical machining (such as buffing) can be used to remove the slight subsidence of the surface, but not to reduce the minimum allowable wall thickness.

Heat treatment and processing

Reference data for heat treatment temperature
Hot working is possible from 1100 to 80 ° °C, and the temperature can be reduced to 750 °C during processing.
In the matching-correction work of the local department, attention should be paid to the effective specification of hot work; there should be a supervisory temperature system. In the higher temperature range, ie 1100 to 900 °C, it is suitable for forging and pier thickening, about 85 °C, and the temperature can be lowered to above 75 °C during the processing.
For example, before the last process, or during the same hot working process, if the heating temperature of the workpiece is above the normalizing temperature but not more than 1000 ° C, and the deformation process is above 75 ° C, or ———— In the last process, the degree of deformation does not exceed 5% - at the end of 7 00 °C, then the normalizing of the St35.8, St45.8, 17Mn4, 19Mn5, and 15Mo3 steels is superfluous. The 13CrMo44 and 10CrMo910 only need to be tempered.
For multiple times and/or long time heat treatments at temperatures around 1000 to 1000 °C, the workpiece should be cooled to around 350 °C before the last deformation process. If the normalizing or quenching and tempering treatment is more than enough, then the temperature at which the steel is hot-worked should not exceed 1 000 °C.
Conversely, if the molding end temperature is above 10 °C, then the St35.8, St45.8, 17Mn4, 19Mn5, and 15Mo3 steels must be normalized, while the 13CrMo44 and 10CrMo910 should be tempered.
14MoV63 and X20CrMoV121 steels should be reconditioned after hot work.

Pipes made of steel according to this standard may be cold-worked, such as pipe bending, flaring, drawing and pipe cutting; for X20CrMoV121 and 14CrV63 steels, the high yield point and tensile strength shall be noted. After bending, expanding, and cold drawing with normal deformation, there is no need to supplement the heat treatment.

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.

Cold rolled steel coil substrate products deep processing of high value-added products. Such as electro-galvanized, hot dip galvanized, electro-galvanized fingerprint resistant, painted steel roll damping composite steel, PVC laminating steel plates, etc., so that the excellent quality of these products has a beautiful, high resistance to corrosion, has been widely used.

Cold rolled steel coil finishing after annealing, cut the head, tail, trimming, flattening, smooth, heavy volume, or longitudinal clipboard. Cold-rolled products are widely used in automobile manufacturing, household electrical appliances, instruments, switches, buildings, office furniture and other industries. Steel plate strapping package weight of 3 to 5 tons. Flat sub-volume typically 3 to 10 tons / volume. Coil diameter 6m.

There are probably hundreds of different methods for packing a pipe, and most of them have merit, but there are two principles that are vital for any method to work: prevent rusting and sea transportation security.

Steel strips bundling for fixed pipes

  • Plastic caps plugged at the two sides of pipe ends
  • Avoid damage caused by steel strapping during transportation
  • Bundled signs should be uniform and consistent
  • The same bundle(batch) of steel pipe shall come from the same furnace.
  • The steel pipe shall have the same furnace number, steel grade and specifications.

Our packing can meet any needs of the customers.
