EN10028 16Mo3 Boiler steel plate
EN10028 16Mo3 is a pressure vessel steel grade specified in the EN10028 series of European standards. It is a weldable molybdenum alloyed steel designed for elevated temperature service. Here’s a breakdown of key information:
Chemical Composition:
- C: 0.12-0.20%
- Si: ≤0.35%
- Mn: 0.40-1.20%
- P: ≤0.025%
- S: ≤0.010%
- Cr: ≤0.30%
- Mo: 0.25-0.35%
- Ni: ≤0.30%
- Al: ≥0.020%
Mechanical Properties (typical for plates ≤ 16mm):
- Tensile Strength: 440-590 MPa
- Yield Strength: ≥290 MPa
- Elongation: ≥22%
Applications: 16Mo3 is commonly used in the fabrication of boilers, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers operating at elevated temperatures. Its molybdenum content enhances its high-temperature strength and creep resistance.
Welding: 16Mo3 is generally considered weldable. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) may be required depending on the thickness of the material and the welding procedure used.
Equivalent Grades: While not direct equivalents, similar grades include ASTM A204 Grade B and ASME SA-204 Grade B. Always consult relevant standards for specific requirements.
Considerations when choosing a supplier
When sourcing EN10028 16Mo3 boiler steel plates, consider factors such as:
- Certifications: Ensure the supplier can provide material certificates that comply with EN10204 3.1 or 3.2.
- Quality Control: Inquire about the supplier’s quality control processes and testing procedures.
- Traceability: Verify that the plates are traceable back to their origin.
- Experience: Choose a supplier with experience in providing steel plates for pressure vessel applications.
