Steel Sheet & Plate & Boiler Steel Plate,Q245R、Q355R、15CrMoR、P265GH、16Mo3
1. Product Overview
Boiler Steel Plate is special heat-resistant pressure-bearing steel plate for boilers and pressure equipment. It is produced from high-purity continuously cast slabs via vacuum refining, controlled hot rolling and heat treatment. Designed for long-term service under high temperature, high pressure and alternating water vapor corrosion, it strictly controls sulfur and phosphorus impurities, featuring stable high-temperature creep resistance, excellent impact toughness at high & low temperature and outstanding weldability. Complying with mandatory safety standards for special equipment, it serves as core pressure-bearing material for power station boilers, industrial boilers, heat exchangers, steam drums and headers.
Production Process: Refined Continuous Cast Slab → Controlled Hot Rolling / TMCP Rolling → Normalizing / Tempering / Quenching & Tempering → 100% Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing → Shot Blasting & Anti-rust Primer Coating → Edge Cutting & Fixed Length → Marking, Bundling & Shipment

Logistics & Shipment: Loading at Tianjin Port, full truck or 40HC container export, FOB Tianjin / CFR / CIF trade terms acceptable.
10. Storage, Machining & Operation Precautions
Warehouse must be dry and ventilated; avoid long-term outdoor rain exposure, surface rust will directly reduce UT pass rate and low-temperature impact performance;
Stack horizontally separated by wooden skids, isolate plates to prevent scratch of anti-rust primer from direct friction;
Calculate minimum bending radius before boiler shell roll forming & head spinning; avoid excessive cold extrusion cracking for high-strength and heat-resistant grades;
Preheating before welding and post-weld stress relief heat treatment are mandatory for Cr-Mo heat-resistant steel and plates over 40mm thick to prevent lamellar tearing and welding cracks;
Re-shot blasting & supplementary anti-rust primer coating, plus impact & tensile performance retest for inventory stored over 6 months;
Hydrostatic and air tightness pressure test is mandatory before equipment delivery, matching the design pressure & temperature parameters of boiler plate.
