GB 5310 12Cr1MoVG Seamless steel tubes and pipes for high pressure boiler
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.

What is 12Cr1MoV material?

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.

Main features of 12Cr1MoV

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.


What is the difference between 12Cr1MoV and 12CrMoV

  • 12Cr1MoV, Cr: 0.90 ~ 1.20. Uniform number code: A31132. Executive standard: GB/T 3077-1999
  • 12CrMoV, Cr: 0.30 ~ 0.60. Uniform number code: A31122. Executive standard: GB/T 3077-1999

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.

Why the application of alloy steel pipe is wider than others

There are many kinds of materials used for transport in industrial production. Specifically we will have more choices and it is not limited to the use of alloy steel pipe. But even in the face of more choices, many people tend to choose alloy steel pipe. People make their own choices will have their own reasons. This means the alloy steel pipe application has its own advantages. Compared with transmission lines made of other materials, after it meets the basic application requirements, its quantity is lighter. Then in the practical application of alloy steel pipe, it will have more advantages because of this. Besides its physical characteristic advantage, it also has economic advantages. The wide application of alloy steel pipe is with kinds of reasons. So in practical usage, we can exploit the advantages to the full, in this way can we get more profits in these applications of alloy steel pipe.


What requirements should alloy steel pipe application meet

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 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.
