EN 10028 16Mo3steel welding requirements

16Mo3 steel is an EN 10028 specified pressure vessel grade chrome molybdenum steel. 16Mo3 seamless and welded steel tubes with circular diameter for pressure purposes.

16Mo3 steel application:

16Mo3 steel is particularly suitable for pipe material for boiler, superheater tubes, hot stream pipes and collector pipes, stove tubes and conduits, heat exchanger and for purposes of the petroleum-refining industry. 16Mo3 steel can be used in continuous operation up to about 530℃ wall temperature.

16Mo3 steel processing/welding:

16Mo3 steel can be welded within all thickness ranges according to afore mentioned welding processes considering the general rules of technology by hand and automatically welding. Work pieces have to be preheated on 200℃ at thickness ＞10mm.

As filler metal for 16Mo3 steel the mentioned electrodes and wires are recommended.

After welding, for work pieces which depend in the technical rules for pressure equipment, a heat treatment particularly has to be specified. In all other cases stress relieving anneal has to be performed.

When flam cutting larger wall thickness the cutting zone should be preheated on approx.200℃.

Bebon Steel have a variety of other chrome molybdenum boiler plates to EN10028 and ASTM/ASME available. More information about 16Mo3, please contact us freely.
