ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1 alloy steel plates
If your project requires ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1 alloy steel plate for welded boilers or pressure vessels operating at elevated temperatures, GNEE is your reliable manufacturer and global supplier.
ASTM A387 Gr 11 CL 1 is a chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel plate designed to deliver stable mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance under long-term thermal service conditions.
What Is ASTM A387 Gr 11 CL 1 Alloy Steel Plate?
ASTM A387 Grade 11 Class 1 is primarily intended for:
- Welded boilers
- Pressure vessels
- Heat exchangers
- Petrochemical and refinery equipment
The steel contains approximately 1.25% chromium and 0.5% molybdenum, providing enhanced resistance to oxidation, creep, and high-temperature corrosion compared with carbon steel.
ASTM A387 Grade 11 vs Other Pressure Vessel Grades
- Most ASTM A387 grades are supplied in two tensile strength classes
- Grade 91 and Grade 911 are available only as Class 2
- ASTM A387 Gr 11 CL 1 offers balanced strength and weldability
- This makes Grade 11 Class 1 a cost-effective solution for medium-temperature pressure vessel applications.
