ASTM A335 Seamless Steel Pipe is generally named chrome moly pipe for the chemical elements- Molybdenum and Chromium. Molybdenum improves steel performances as steel strength, elastic limit, wear resistance, impact and hardenability. While Element Moly increases steel pipe resistance to softening, restrains grain growth and slows down the steel structure embrittlement speed. Through experiment and production test, moly is by now the most effective additive which can increase high temperature creep strength. Seamless Steel pipe with moly added also shows enhanced corrosion resistance and inhibits pitting.
Chromium (or chrome) is one essential element in stainless steel production. Steel product is defined as stainless steel for 12% or more Chrome added. For its outstanding heat resistant feature, chrome is widely used and is irreplaceable in resisting oxidation at elevated temperatures applications. In addition, chrome element raises the steel tensile, yield, and hardness at room temperatures. This is why ASTM A335-chrome moly alloy seamless steel pipe is mostly used for in power plants, refineries, chemical plants, and oil field platforms where fluids and gases are at extremely high temperatures and pressures while transportation.
Scope: This specification covers nominal wall and minimum wall seamless chrome moly seamless pipes for the power generation and petrochemical industries. ASTM A335 Seamless Steel Pipe ordered to this specification shall be suitable for fusion welding, bending, flanging (vanstoning), and similar forming operations. With chrome and moly element added, ASTM A335 offers good tensile strength, fine resistance to high temperature and corrosion.
Grades and Application:
It covers steel grades from P1 to P5, P9, P11, P12, P91. Grades P11/P22 and P91/92 are commonly used in power stations, while A335 grade P5 and P9 are mostly used for application in the petrochemical industry.
