Steel 16Mo3 ASTM Equivalent

16Mo3 is designated with steel number 1.5415. Steel Grade 16Mo3 is a


EN10028 specified pressure vessel grade chrome molybdenum steel
alloy for use in elevated working temperatures. EN 10028-2 16Mo3 flat
products (especially referring to steel plates) are made of steels for
pressure purposes. EN 10028-2 non-alloy and alloy steels are with
specified elevated temperature properties.
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:
16Mo3 Material ASTM Equivalent:
Seamless Pipes: ASTM A335 P1
Bars: ASTM A217 WC1
Welded Pipe / Plates: ASTM A204 Gr.A & Gr. B
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.
Steel 16Mo3 Plates Available
Thickness: 3mm to 150mm
