DIN 17155 Pressure Vessel Carbon Steel Coil: High-Temperature Alloy for Industrial Boilers & Pressure Systems
DIN 17155 Pressure Vessel Carbon Steel Coil Product Overview
DIN 17155 is a carbon-molybdenum and chromium-molybdenum steel designed for boilers, pressure vessels, and high-temperature pipelines operating at -20°C to 600°C. Available in grades like 15Mo3, 13CrMo44, and 19Mn6, it combines elevated temperature strength with creep resistance, meeting EN 10028-2 P355GH and ASME SA-387 standards. Ideal for power plants and petrochemical refineries, it replaces costlier stainless steels in steam drums, heat exchangers, and hydrocrackers.
Key Technical Specifications
1. Manufacturing & Dimensional Tolerances
- Process:
- Hot-rolled: 2.75–150mm (±1.0% thickness tolerance per DIN EN 10029)
- Cold-rolled: 0.2–3mm (±0.25% tolerance for precision forming)
- Width: 45–2,200mm (compatible with CNC machining for flanges/nozzles)
- Surface: Shot-peened (SA 2.5) or pickled (EP coating for corrosion resistance)

- Hardness: 160–220 HBW (Grade 15Mo3 normalized)
Performance Advantages
- High-Temperature Stability:
- Creep rupture life: 100,000 hours @ 550°C (13CrMo44)
- Oxidation resistance: ≤1.5 mm/year scaling @ 600°C
- Weldability:
- Preheat: 150–200°C (GTAW with ER90S-B3 filler)
- PWHT: 680–720°C (mandatory for Cr-Mo grades to avoid HAZ cracking)
- Cost Efficiency:
- 35% lower cost vs. 316L stainless steel in steam headers
- 20% thinner walls vs. carbon steel due to higher yield strength
- Corrosion Resistance:
- H₂S service: NACE MR0175 compliant for sour gas pipelines
- CO₂ corrosion rate: <0.1 mm/year with proper coatings
