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.

Heat Treatment of 15CrMo Alloy Round Steel

Heat treatment is a highly effective means of improving and modifying the properties of 15CrMo alloy round steel. It plays a very important role in product reliability and economy. Heat treatment of 15CrMo alloy round steel usually includes ordinary heat treatment (annealing, normalising, quenching, tempering) and surface heat treatment (surface quenching and chemical heat treatment - carburising, nitriding, metallising, etc.).

In mechanical engineering, many machine parts, such as crankshafts, gears, camshafts of internal combustion engines and gears in important reduction gears, require not only sufficient toughness, plasticity and bending strength in the core, but also a high surface thickness within a certain thickness. hardness, high wear resistance and high fatigue strength. It is difficult to meet the above performance requirements simultaneously with the above various overall heat treatment methods, and the use of surface heat treatment is the most effective method to meet these performance requirements simultaneously.

Surface heat treatment is a heat treatment method that changes the surface properties of 15CrMo alloy round steel by changing the structure of the surface layer.

Surface quenching is a heat treatment that gradually changes the surface structure without changing the chemical composition of the surface. It can be carried out by high-frequency, medium-frequency or power-frequency induction heating method or flame heating method. The common feature is that the surface of 15CrMo alloy round steel is quickly heated to the quenching temperature, and when the heat is not transferred to the core of the part, it is quickly cooled, so that the surface hardness is high, but the core still has high toughness.

Chemical heat treatment is a heat treatment method that changes the chemical composition and structure of the surface layer of 15CrMo alloy round steel. Chemical heat treatment can be divided into methods such as carburizing, nitriding, carbonitriding and metallising according to the different elements infiltrated on the surface of 15CrMo alloy round steel. It is very effective in improving and enhancing the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of 15CrMo alloy round steel. At present, chemical heat treatment has developed rapidly, and there are many applications of new technologies.

D≥219 +12.5%,-10%

The principle of purifying hydrogen from 15CrMoG alloy pipe is that, at 300-500 ℃, hydrogen is adsorbed on the side of the 15CrMoG alloy steel tube, and the hydrogen is absorbed on the 1515CrMoG alloy steel pipe wall, because of the lack of two electrons in the 4d electron layer of palladium, It can produce unstable chemical bonds with hydrogen (this reaction of palladium and hydrogen is reversible), under the action of Palladium, hydrogen is ionized to proton its radius is 1.5x1015m, and the lattice constant of palladium is 3.88x10-10m (20 ℃), so it can pass 15CrMoG alloy steel pipe, Under the action of Palladium, protons are combined with electrons to form hydrogen molecules, escaping from the other side of the 15CrMoG alloy steel 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 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.

  • 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 & Their Effects

  • 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.
