Boiler And Pressure Vessel Steel Plate
Boiler steel plates and pressure vessel steel plates are special steels used to manufacture pressure-bearing equipment such as boilers and pressure vessels, which need to operate safely for a long time under high temperature, high pressure or corrosive environments.

Main Features
- 1.High strength and toughness
can withstand high pressure environments, while also having good impact and fatigue resistance to avoid brittle fracture. - 2.High temperature resistance
The mechanical properties (such as creep resistance) remain stable at high temperatures, and some materials can work for a long time at temperatures above 500°C. - 3.Excellent weldability:
It is not easy to produce cracks after welding. The weld area needs to match the performance of the parent material, which is suitable for automated welding process. - 4.Corrosion resistance:
It can resist corrosion from water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, acid and alkali media, etc. In special environments (such as nuclear power), alloy elements (such as Mo and Cr) need to be added. - 5.The processability
is easy for hot and cold processing such as rolling and stamping, reducing the risk of defects in the manufacturing process.

Common grades
Chinese Standard (GB/T 713)
Q245R |
Low strength grade, used for medium and low pressure boilers and containers with temperature ≤400°C. |
Q345R |
Is the most commonly used grade with excellent comprehensive performance and is suitable for pressure vessels below 350°C. |
