GB3087 STEEL PIPE - industrial steel pipe
GB 5310 12Cr1MoVG high pressure seamless boiler tubes are designed and manufactured to meet the technical requirements of high-pressure boilers in various industrial settings.
The 12Cr1MoVG tube is a type of alloy steel tube used primarily in high-temperature applications.
12Cr1MoVG tube is widely used to manufacture superheater, steam header and piping for high pressure, ultra-high pressure, subcritical boiler in China. It is a low-carbon, low-alloy pearlite heat-resistant steel. Its total alloy content is less than 2%, only half that of 2.25Cr-1Mo, but its fatigue strength is 40% higher after 100,000 hours of operation at 580°C.
GB 5310 12Cr1MoVG high pressure seamless boiler tube is a type of seamless steel tube or pipe that is designed and manufactured in accordance with the Chinese national standard GB/T 5310. The tube is used in high-pressure boilers to transport steam or water under high temperatures and pressures.
12Cr1MoVG is a steel grade commonly used in the manufacture of high-pressure boiler tubes. The composition of this material includes carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and some other elements. The addition of these elements enhances the mechanical properties of the steel, including hardness, strength, toughness, and resistance to high temperatures and pressures.
The seamless production process ensures the high-quality surface finish and tight dimensional tolerance of the 12Cr1MoVG high pressure boiler tube. The tube can come in various lengths, outer diameters, wall thicknesses, and end types, such as plain end, beveled end, or threaded ends.
12Cr1MoV steel is normalized and tempered at high temperatures, where its normal metal organization includes ferrite and pearlite (or local bainite). Compared with the same type of low-alloy pearlitic heat-resistant steel, 12Cr1MoV shows better processability and much higher thermal strength.
12Cr1MoVG is a type of high-pressure boiler steel used in the production of boilers and pressure vessels. It has a high temperature strength, good thermal conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of power plant boilers, industrial boilers, and pressure vessels in the petrochemical industry.
12Cr1MoVG is a Cr-Mo-V low alloy heat-resistant steel introduced from the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. Vanadium is an element that reduces the y-phase region. When dissolved in y-fe, it will inhibit the transformation of ADI to pearlite, which is beneficial to the formation of ADI. The total amount of alloy in 12Cr1MoVG steel is only one half of that of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel, but the endurance strength (580 ° C) is 1.4 times of that of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel. Similar steel grades widely used abroad include ASTM a405 p24 in the United States, bs3604 in the United Kingdom, DIN 13crmov42 in Germany, etc.
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.
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.
