12cr1movg High-Pressure Boiler Tube
12Cr1MoVG is a high-quality chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel specifically designed for service in high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Its name provides a concise description of its chemical composition: approximately 1% Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo), and Vanadium (V), with "G" signifying its primary use for high-pressure boiler tubes (Gao - meaning high in Chinese, from the GB standard). This material falls under the category of heat-resistant and creep-resistant steels, making it a critical component in the thermal power generation and petrochemical industries.
The exceptional properties of 12Cr1MoVG stem from its carefully balanced alloying elements. Chromium enhances oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, molybdenum increases strength and helps minimize temper brittl
eness, while vanadium contributes to strength and stabilizes carbides, improving long-term creep resistance. This combination allows components made from 12Cr1MoVG to maintain structural integrity under severe conditions of stress, temperature, and corrosive atmospheres for extended periods.
