ASTM A335 P5 Alloy Steel Seamless Pipe

Alloy Steel A335 P5 Seamless Pipe Distributor, ASME SA 335 Alloy Steel P5 Pipe, Stockist of UNS K41245 Alloy Steel Pipe

A335 P5 pipes are also known as ASME SA335 P5 pipes, is a seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe that mainly has high-temperature applications. The UNS designation for this grade P5 is K41545.

The main composition of ASTM A335 Grade P5 pipes is the addition of chromium and molybdenum. Chromium increase high-temperature strength by enhancing resistance to oxidation resulting in improved Yield, Tensile strength and hardness at room temperature. The addition of molybdenum further increase the strength of the pipe, increased elastic limit, improved wear resistance, good impact values and superior hardness values, it also avoids softening of steel, resisting grain growth and makes pipes less susceptible to embrittlement. This allows these pipes to be used in highly corrosive environments. It also has high creep and pitting resistance.

These pipes can be fully annealed, isotherm annealed, normalized or tempered. The addition of nickel and manganese enhances the hardness of pipes. This allows for excellent performance under high-temperature conditions. The absolute roughness of P5 pipes is very low which makes their dimensions highly precise. This allows for calculation precise applications where slight alterations can lead to major errors.

ASTM A335 P5 pipes are highly adaptable and can be used in Refinery, Machine building, Oil and Gas, Powe generation, Petrochemical, Gas processing, fertilizer and sugar industries.
