15CrMoG
High-quality 15CrMoG material, suitable for high-pressure environments.
GB 5310 15CrMoG high pressure seamless boiler tubes are designed and manufactured to meet the technical requirements of high-pressure boilers in various industrial settings.
GB 5310 15CrMoG high pressure seamless boiler tubes are a type of seamless steel tubes or pipes designed and manufactured according to the Chinese national standard GB/T 5310.
15CrMoG is a type of pearlitic steel with high creep resistance and excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. It is commonly used as the material for high-temperature boilers in power plants which require ultra-supercritical steam parameters.
The high-pressure seamless production process ensures the tubes have tight dimensional tolerance and excellent surface finish. The tubes can come in various lengths, outer diameters, wall thicknesses, and end types such as plain end, beveled end, or threaded ends.
GB 5310 15CrMoG high-pressure seamless boiler tubes are widely used in various industrial applications such as power generation, manufacturing, and petrochemicals, among others, as they aim to ensure the safety and reliability of high-pressure boilers by meeting strict standards for the production and use of seamless steel tubes and pipes.
15CrMoG High Pressure Seamless Boiler Tubes 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)
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.

| Tungsten | Increases hardness at elevated temperatures. Refines grain size. |
Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
