16Mo3 steel

16Mo3 is a low-alloy steel that is used in various industries for high-temperature applications, particularly in the manufacture of boilers and pressure vessels. It is a chrome-molybdenum steel that has good corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength.

The chemical composition of 16Mo3 steel typically includes chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and manganese (Mn), with trace amounts of silicon (Si) and carbon (C). The addition of chromium and molybdenum to the steel enhances its high-temperature strength and resistance to corrosion, while the manganese improves its weldability and toughness.

16Mo3 steel has a high-temperature yield strength of 220-275 MPa and a tensile strength of 440-590 MPa. It also has good elongation properties, making it suitable for welding and forming. The steel is typically supplied in a normalized condition, which improves its toughness and ductility.

In addition to its use in boilers and pressure vessels, 16Mo3 steel is also used in various other applications, including power generation equipment, heat exchangers, and pipelines. It is a popular choice for applications requiring high-temperature strength, resistance to corrosion, and good weldability, making it a versatile and reliable material for a wide range of industries.
