1. Product Overview
Alloy steel pipe is a high-grade seamless pipe manufactured from premium mild carbon steel substrate with precisely added alloy elements including chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, nickel and manganese. Produced through high-temperature hot rolling, cold drawing and precision heat treatment, it features uniform metallographic structure and no welding weak points.
Compared with ordinary carbon steel pipes and galvanized steel pipes, alloy steel pipes possess outstanding comprehensive properties: high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance, creep resistance, low temperature toughness, medium corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and ultra-long service life. Instead of relying on surface anti-corrosion coating, its superior performance comes from internal alloy metallization. It is a special pressure-bearing pipe specially used for power stations, boilers, petrochemical, coal chemical and high-pressure industrial projects.
