Product Performance of EN 10028-2 Pressure Vessel Steel

Strength and toughness: EN 10028-2 pressure vessel steel plate must have high strength and toughness. In this way, it can withstand a certain air pressure and water pressure, and the use requirements at different temperatures (high, medium and low temperatures). This steel plate not only requires a high yield strength and tensile strength, but also needs to be able to absorb a large amount of energy before breaking, showing good toughness.

Material uniformity: In order to ensure the safety performance of the pressure vessel, the material of the pressure vessel plate must be uniform. The factory will strictly limit the existence of harmful defects. This includes strict control of defects such as inclusions, bubbles and cracks inside the steel plate.

Weldability: This steel plate has good weldability to meet the welding needs in the manufacturing process. Good welding performance can ensure the quality of the weld, thereby improving the overall performance of the pressure vessel.

EN 10028 13CrMo45

13CrMo4-5 is a chrome-molybdenum alloy steel manufactured according to the European standard EN 10028. The chemical composition of the steel mainly includes carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and so on. In high temperature environment, it can still maintain good strength and toughness. So the material can make parts and devices that need to withstand high temperatures.
