MO and CR-MO Steels for high-temperature applications

MO AND CR-MO STEELS FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS

Because of their high resistance to heat, molybdenum and chromium molybdenum steels are largely employed in the chemical and petrochemical industries, in the 350 to 600°C operating temperature range.

Characteristics

The main characteristics of Mo and Cr-Mo steels are:
– The addition of Mo improves mechanical characteristics at high temperatures, while Cr increases, in particular, resistance to scaling, thus extending lifetime at high-temperature applications.
– Mn allows higher resistance values at all temperatures.
