Description

What is 13CrMo4-5?

13CrMo4-5 is a steel composed of approximately 13% chromium and 0.4-0.5% molybdenum, forming a solid alloy steel. It possesses excellent high-temperature strength, good weldability, and resistance to creep. This steel is primarily used in high-pressure applications in power plants and petrochemical facilities. It is categorized as heat-treated alloy steel and is typically processed through hot rolling, which enhances its mechanical properties.

Why Choose 13CrMo4-5 Alloy Pressure Vessel Steel?

When it comes to demanding applications in power and petrochemical plants, choosing the right alloy pressure vessel steel is crucial. We highly recommend 13CrMo4-5 for your projects. This steel offers excellent high-temperature strength and good weldability, making it ideal for high-pressure environments. By selecting 13CrMo4-5, you benefit from reduced maintenance costs and enhanced safety, ensuring long-term reliability. 13CrMo4-5 stands out because of its unique blend of chromium and molybdenum, improving performance and durability. Its superior weldability simplifies fabrication and reduces lead times compared to other materials. If you’re looking for alternatives, consider A387Gr.12, 12CrMo, or JIS SFVAF12. These options also provide robust performance in high-pressure applications, ensuring you have the right material for your needs.
