1.What is A387 grade 22 material?

Chrome Molybdenum Steel – ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 2. The A387 Grade 22 Class 2 – a grade of chromium-molybdenum alloy – is mainly intended for use in pressure vessels and welded boilers, which are designed for use in elevated temperature service.

 

2.Is A387 grade 22 class 2 better than A387 grade 22 class 1?

Yes, ASTM A387 Grade 22 Class 2 is "better" than Class 1 in terms of strength, as it offers higher minimum yield and tensile strength, making it more resistant to stress, but Class 1 might be preferred for better formability and weldability due to lower strength requirements, as both share the same chemical composition but differ in mechanical properties.
