What is A387 gr 12 material?

A387 Grade 12 Class 2 is a high quality chrome molybdenum steel which is ideal for elevated temperature service and offers excellent anti corrosion characteristics. The steel has a wide range of uses including industrial boilers and pressure vessels, especially in environments where high temperature levels are common.

 

What is grade 12 steel?

Send Enquiry. Engineered for use in elevated temperature service, is a chrome molybdenum carbon alloy steel for use in weldable pressure vessels and industrial boilers.

 

What is the difference between ASTM A387 Grade 12 Class 1 and Class 2?

The main difference between ASTM A387 Grade 12 Class 1 and Class 2 is their mechanical properties (strength), not their chemical composition, with Class 2 offering higher tensile and yield strengths than Class 1 due to different heat treatments (typically quenching and tempering for Class 2 vs. normalizing/annealing for Class 1). This higher strength in Class 2 makes it suitable for more demanding, higher-stress, and high-temperature pressure vessel applications.
