16Mo3 European alloy steels

16Mo3 European alloy steels

16Mo3 Material

16Mo3, designated with steel number 1.5415, is an European (DIN EN) steel grade for alloy steels. The 16Mo3 material can be furnished in different product forms in accordance with relative EN standards. Generally speaking, 16Mo3 is a Cr-Mo alloy steel. The addition of molybdenum(Mo) not only improves the resistance to pitting corrosion but also significantly enhances creep strength at elevated temperatures. The chromium(Cr) improves the resistance to high-temperature hydrogen attack and graphitization.

16Mo3 ASTM Equivalent

Since relative ASTM(ASME) standards are most widely utilized in pipeline design, sometimes it is necessary to find the decent ASTM / ASME equivalent for the EN 16Mo3 steel. As a rule of thumb, their correlations are shown in below data sheet:
