12Cr2MoWVTiB steel is a kind of multi-element microalloyed low-alloy bainite heat-resistant steel developed by ourselves from the end of 1960s to the middle of 1970s in China. Due to the proper coordination of various alloy elements, the steel has high heat strength, and its heat strength performance and service temperature are higher than those of the same kind of steel abroad. Therefore, 12Cr2MoWVTiB can be used for boiler superheat tube panel and reheat The manufacture of boiler tube and main steam tube, in which superheater tube and reheater tube are called serpentine tube.

Temperature application range: wall temperature ≤ 600 ℃ (620 ℃ can be used when considering oxidation loss in strength calculation)

(4) Selection of welding materials:
The weldability of 12Cr2MoWVTiB steel is good. It can be used for manual arc welding, gas welding, friction welding, TIG welding and plasma welding. R347 welding rod is used for manual arc welding, h08cr2movnb welding wire is used for gas welding, butt joint with 12Cr1MoV steel, h08crmov or h08cr2movnb welding wire is used. Neutral partial oxidation flame is suitable for gas welding. After welding, it shall be normalized at 1000-1030 ℃ and tempered at 760-780 ° C. before manual arc welding with thickness greater than 6mm, it shall be preheated to 250-300ec, and tempered at 760-780 ° C after welding. After butt welding, it should be heated to 780ec, kept warm for 40 minutes, and then cooled to below 400ec.

Development of 12Cr2MoWVTiB high pressure boiler tube

◆Professor Liu rongzao put forward the theory of multiple composite strengthening in the 1960s, developed G102 (12Cr2MoWVTiB) in the late 1960s and G106 (10cr5mowvtib) in the 1970s

◆Professor Liu rongzao's theory and G102's success, Professor V.K. Sikka of the United States adores very much, and T91 research and development has been successful.

◆T23 (HCM2S, cc2199-3, 6cr2w2monbvnb) developed in Japan and T24 (cc2514, 6cr2mo1vtinb) developed in Europe are all G102 modifications.

In 1982, when Shanghai Boiler Plant and Harbin boiler plant introduced the manufacturing technology of 300MW and 600MW Subcritical controlled circulation boiler from CE company of the United States, CE company of the United States agreed to use 12Cr2MoWVTiB (steel 102) steel pipe instead of TP347H and TP304H steel tubes to manufacture 300MW and 600MW boiler high temperature superheater and reheater. In the superheater, the actual maximum design temperature of 102 steel tube is 580x ℃; in the reheater, the actual maximum design temperature of 102 steel pipe is 599 ℃.

According to DL / t715_, 12Cr2MoWVTiB steel is mainly used for superheater and reheater pipes with wall temperature not higher than 600 ° C; however, according to DL / T 715-2015, it is mainly used for superheater pipes and reheater pipes with wall temperature not higher than 575 ° C. It can be seen that the upper limit of service temperature in 2015 version is 25 ° C lower than that in 2000 version, which may be due to the serious oxidation problem when the steel is used in the steam side of the heating surface tube.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.

  • Increased hardenability.

  • Increased corrosion resistance.

  • Retention of hardness and strength.

  • Nearly all alloy steels require heat treatment in order to bring out their best properties.

Alloying elements are added to steel to enhance mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance.

  • Chromium – Adds hardness. Increased toughness and wear resistance.

  • Cobalt – Used in making cutting tools; improved Hot Hardness (or Red Hardness).

  • Manganese – Increases surface hardness. Improves resistance to strain, hammering & shocks.

  • Molybdenum – Increases strength. Improves resistance to shock and heat.

  • Nickel – Increases strength & toughness. Improves corrosion resistance.

  • Tungsten – Adds hardness and improves grain structure. Provides improved heat resistance.

  • Vanadium – Increases strength, toughness and shock resistance. Improved corrosion resistance.

  • Chromium-Vanadium – Greatly improved tensile strength. It is hard but easy to bend and cut.
