Steel Pipe & Tube & Alloy Steel Pipe,16MnDG / Q345D、15CrMoG、12Cr1MoVG、P11/P12 (13CrMo44)
1. Product Overview
Alloy steel pipe is a seamless steel pipe rolled by adding alloy elements such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, manganese and silicon on carbon steel substrate. Different from ordinary carbon steel pipes, it integrates outstanding performance including high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, creep resistance, corrosion resistance and high strength. Formed by hot rolling, cold drawing and precision rolling processes, it is widely used in thermal power, petrochemical, boiler, pressure vessel, oil & gas transportation, mechanical equipment and other harsh working conditions with high temperature and high pressure, complying with domestic national standards and mainstream overseas industrial standards.

High-pressure heat-resistant alloy pipe (12Cr1MoVG / P91): Long-term working temperature 550–620℃, bearing pressure above 25MPa
Surface TreatmentMultiple options: Hot rolled black surface, cold drawn bright surface, sand blasting rust removal, pickling passivation, anti-rust oil coating; free of oxide scale, interlayer and crack defects on inner wall.
Pipe End ProcessingPlain end, bevel end, threaded end and grooved end available, matching welding, flange and clamp connection methods.
5. Core Product Advantages
Excellent High Temperature & Pressure Resistance, Stable Creep ResistanceWith Cr, Mo, V alloy elements added, strength attenuation is slow under high temperature, no deformation or cracking during long-term high temperature & pressure operation, perfectly fit continuous high-temperature working conditions of power stations and boilers.
Anti-Oxidation & Anti-Hydrogen Corrosion, Medium ResistanceChromium element forms dense protective oxide film to resist corrosion by steam, hydrogen, oil products and weak acid & alkali medium, service life far longer than ordinary carbon steel pipes.
Superior Mechanical Performance with High Safety FactorOutstanding impact toughness, tensile strength and yield strength, not easy to brittle fracture under low temperature, suitable for alternating circulation environment of high and low temperature.
Clean & Smooth Inner Wall without ImpuritiesPrecision rolling process ensures smooth inner wall free of oxide scale, reducing scaling risk and pipeline pressure loss during fluid transportation.
Good MachinabilitySupport cutting, welding, pipe bending and secondary heat treatment modification, convenient for field processing and installation of various equipment.
Sufficient Stock & Stable Delivery CycleFull series of materials and specifications in stock, shipped from Tianjin Port, production & delivery cycle 5–7 days, customized heat treatment, dimension and surface treatment for bulk orders.
