ASTM A387 Grade 11: Chemical Composition, Properties, Equivalent grades

Introduction

The ASTM A387 specification is the Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Chromium-Molybdenum intended primarily for use in welded boilers and pressure vessels designed for elevated temperature service.

Chrome Molybdenum steel plate, also known as Chrome Moly, is a versatile material widely used in various industries, including the oil and gas industry, nuclear industry, and fossil fuel power stations. The addition of molybdenum in the alloy composition enhances its strength and enables it to withstand higher working temperatures, while the presence of chromium enhances its corrosion resistance and resistance to oxidation.

The superior temperature tensile strength and anti-corrosive properties of Chrome Moly make it an ideal choice for applications involving saltwater exposure.
