The application of 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N Steel
00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel is widely used in the production of a range of steel products, such as structural components, piping, valves, fittings, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, heat treaters, etc. These steels show relatively high strength, chloride corrosion resistance and a certain amount of ductility, enabling their use for a range of tasks, such as petrochemical sector and maritime structures.
The use of 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel in the construction of chemical reactors and still is common, thanks to its wide range of applications and outstanding performance. These steels can be extensively applied to operate under diverse temperatures and process conditions, they also offer superb abrasion-resistance and excellent weldability, with good thermal conductivity, perfect mechanical and chemical properties. In addition, these steels are known for their superior corrosion resistance, with excellent chemical resistance, making them particularly suitable to work in environments with a high concentration of chloride, such as strong acid electrolyte, non-oxidizing salts, and bleaching agents.
00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel is very suitable for use in petrochemical and oil & gas industry, as they present outstanding performances under high temperatures and acidic ituations, including corrosion-resistance and good wear resistance in corrosive environments. For instance, the wear resistance of these steels are enhanced by their nickel content and high hardness, which make them ideal for the transformation of fluids at high temperatures. In addition, their molybdenum and nitrogen content provides superior resistance to carburization and nitriding, particularly when exposed to sulphur-bearing streams and nickelsulfide regions. With their excellent mechanical properties, these steels can be welded easily and, due to their ability to avoid hydrogen embrittlement, can be used for the manufacture of a range of pressurized containment vessels and tanks.
Another use of 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel, is the production of cryogenic components, such as heat exchangers, operating in extremely low temperatures, where the temperature drops below -180°C. In these conditions, carbon steel and low alloy steels cannot be used as they lose their ferritic characteristics, resulting in a great loss of toughness. On the contrary, 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel presents outstanding mechanical properties, maximizing their ductility, allowing them to be stretched or bent without cracking or tearing. In addition, the extreme cold temperatures also represent a serious challenge for other materials, as they can suffer embrittlement and corrosion. Therefore, the use of 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N, 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel provide corrosion and stress resistance.
00Cr25Ni6Mo2N and 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel are also suitable for other high-performance applications in the paper and pulp production or in the production of industrial gases. In extreme heat and high-temperature applications, such as in the pulp and paper industry, these steels show excellent physical characteristics and a great wear resistance, avoiding the loss of magnesium and calcium in the system, which can cause a range of issues to the process.
On the other hand, 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N and 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steels are also a common choice when manufacturing components for the industrial gas industry, usually for the production of liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, oxygen and other industrial gases, due to their outstanding resistance to both environmental corrosion and mechanical forces. Moreover, the steel’s high thickness makes them ideal to produce pressure vessels, used for storing and processing industrial gases, while their weldability also makes them ideal for construction and repairs.
Finally, 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N and 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel are also suitable for the production of high quality bolt products and machine parts, such as nuts, screws and washers. These steels present the right combination of strength and ductility, featuring extreme resistance to corrosive environments and solid resistances to heat treatments and mechanical abuse.
Overall, 00Cr25Ni6Mo2N and 00Cr25Ni7Mo3N steel are extensively used in a wide range of industrial applications, including petrochemical sector and maritime structures, chemical reactors and stills, cryogenic components, paper and pulp production, industrial gas industry and bolt products and machine parts. These steels offer a range of outstanding properties, such as corrosion-resistance, weldability, hardness and brittle fracture resistance, that makes them suitable for the production of a variety of steel products.
