What is 12Cr1MoV alloy structural steel?

The chemical composition and mechanical properties of 12Cr1MoV alloy structural steel are excellent, the tensile strength and yield point are above the standard, but also has high plasticity and oxidation resistance. It is widely used in high pressure, ultra high pressure, subcritical superheater, collecting box and main steam conduit. Not only that, the process and weldability of this steel is also excellent.

The two digits at the beginning of the steel number represent the carbon content of the steel, which is expressed by a few millionths of the average carbon content. For example, 40Cr and 25Cr2MoVA alloy tubes, the main alloy elements in the steel are generally expressed by a few percent, except for some microalloy elements. When average alloy content < 1.5%, generally only the element symbol is marked in the steel number, but not the content, but in special circumstances easy to confuse, the element symbol can be marked with the number "1"; The alloy elements in steel, such as vanadium V, titanium Ti, aluminum AL, boron B and rare earth RE, all belong to microalloying elements. Although the content is very low, they should still be marked on the steel number. For example, in 20MnVB steel. Vanadium is 0.07-0.12% and boron is 0.001-0.005%. High quality steel should be added "A" at the end of the steel number to distinguish it from ordinary high quality steel. Special purpose alloy structural steel with a prefix (or suffix) denoting the purpose of the steel. For example, the 30CrMnSi steel specially used for riveting screws is expressed as ML30CrMnSi.
