Is A588 Grade A CE maximum and tool steel the same?

In recent years, in line with the development trend of iron and A588 Grade A CE maximum steel industry at home and abroad, we have accelerated the transformation of development mode, promoted structural adjustment, and formed a rich product series of medium and thick plates, hot rolled steel coils, profiles, steel pipes, etc., which A588 Grade A CE maximum are widely used in automobiles, long-span bridges, railways, machinery, ocean and so on fields. Meanwhile, we also provide deep processing for the steel materials.

16Mo3 material is a pressure vessel and boiler steel grade that is used in applications with elevated temperatures according to EN 10028–2. It has improved mechanical properties and better creep resistance allowing it to be used up to 500°C. 16Mo3 boiler steel is used as a material at elevated operating temperatures, and is used as a weldable steel for manufacturing industrial boilers and stainless steel pressure vessels in the petroleum, natural gas and chemical industries.

Weathering steel is characterized in that the alloy composition and weight percentage content. The chemical composition C≤0.12, Si: 0.25 ～ 0.75, Mn: 0.20 ～ 0.50, P: 0.07 ～ 0.15, S≤0.03, Cu: 0.25 ～ 0.55 , Cr: 0.30 ～ 1.25, Ni≤0.65, and the rest are Fe and trace impurities. Weathering steel sheet A588 Grade A CE maximum is mainly used for steel structures such as railways, vehicles, bridges, and towers that are exposed to the atmosphere for a long time.

The effect of alloy elements of A588 Grade A CE maximum, Q345B alloy steel plate on tempering transformation: improving the tempering stability. The alloying elements delay the decomposition of martensite and the transformation of residual austenite during the tempering process. Increasing the recrystallization temperature of ferrite makes it difficult for carbides to aggregate and grow, so the resistance of steel to temper softening is improved, that is, the tempering stability of steel is improved.

The difference between A588 Grade A CE maximum, 10# seamless steel pipe and 20# seamless steel pipe:
1. Chemical composition
Chemical composition of 10# seamless steel pipe: C: 0.07-0.13, Si: 0.17-0.37, Mn: 0.35-0.65, Cr: 0.15, Ni: 0.30, Cu: 0.25. Chemical composition of 20# seamless steel pipe: C: 0.07-0.23, Si: 0.17-0.37, Mn: 0.35-0.65, Cr: 0.25, Ni: 0.30, Cu: 0.25
2. Mechanical properties
10# seamless steel pipe: tensile strength: 335 MPa, yield strength: 205 MPa, elongation: 31%. 20# seamless steel pipe: tensile strength: 410 MPa, yield strength: 245 MPa, elongation: 25%.
