The DIN 17175 standard has various equivalents in ASTM standards for seamless tubes used in high-temperature and heat-exchanger applications. Here are a few examples:
Please note that these equivalences depend on the specific grade and intended application. It's recommended to refer to the specific material specifications for accurate equivalences.
The material St35, which is part of the DIN 17175 standard, refers to a low carbon steel used for seamless tubes in high-temperature and heat-exchanger applications. Here are some general material properties of St35:
It's important to note that the mechanical properties can vary based on factors such as heat treatment and manufacturing processes.
As far as this standard is concerned, steels that have a good mechanical properties at a higher temperature, up to 6 00 °C, and even under long-term load, are called heat-strength steels.
The steel grade or material number should be written to the abbreviation of the product as shown in the following example:
Example 1:
A DIN 17175 outer diameter 3 8mm, wall thickness 2.5 mm mm steel grade ST35.8 material, number 1.03 0 5 seamless steel pipe whose name is written: steel pipe DIN 17175-ST35.8 - 38 × 2.5 or steel pipe DIN 17175 -1.0305 - 3 8 × 2 . 5
When ordering goods, except for the above-mentioned requirements, the total length required and the required acceptance test certificate should be stated. If it is a non-incorporated steel pipe, the quality level should be stated.
Production method
The steel pipe to which this standard relates may be produced by hot rolling, cold rolling, hot pressing, hot drawing or cold drawing.
The tube steel can be smelted in a flat furnace or an electric furnace according to the oxygen blowing method, and all steels should be cast in a static manner.
The full length of the steel pipe shall be delivered through a suitable heat treatment. According to each steel type, heat treatment includes:
- normal fire
- Retirement
- tempering; from the quenching temperature, it is not cold, but then tempered as well as
- Adjust the mass by the isothermal transformation method.
If a satisfactory uniform crystal structure is produced after hot work, the appropriate heat treatment for St35.8, St45.8, 17Mn4, 19Mn5, and 15 Mn3 steels is considered to have been met. Under the same premise, the 13CrMo44 and 10CrMo910 steels will be tempered to replace the complete quenching and tempering treatment. In any case, 14MoV63 and 20XcrMoV121 steels are supplied after tempering treatment.

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.
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.
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.

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.
The transportation of kinds of gases or liquids in production needs to rely on alloy steel pipe. This shows that the actual role of alloy steel pipe application is important. High temperature resistant and low temperature resistant is the tolerance of temperature. In the practical application of alloy steel pipe, there will be many materials need to be transported. However their temperatures are not the same. So this can be the basic requirement to alloy steel pipe. It needs more corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistant material is the best material during transporting, because it is corrosion resistant. So it can be used in more occasions. And it is definitely very convenient for users.

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).
| 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. |
