What is the difference between A335 P22 and P91?

Oct 22, 2024

A335 P22 steel
A335 P22 steel is 2 1/4Cr-1Mo bainitic heat-resistant steel, widely used in steam pipes with working temperature ≤570℃, with high high temperature oxidation resistance and thermal strength, and its supply state is 940-960℃ normalized and 730-750℃ tempered.

A335 P91

A335 P91 steel has good high temperature endurance strength, thermal stability and high temperature creep resistance, and the linear expansion coefficient is 12.6×10-6℃-1 at 20~600℃. This feature avoids creep fatigue cracks when P91 steel is connected with pearlite steel during operation. It is widely used in chemical and petroleum refining projects, especially in ultra-high pressure steam pipelines. P91 belongs to medium alloy heat-resistant steel (classified by alloy content) and new fine-grained strong martensitic heat-resistant steel (classified by metallographic structure). The main alloying element is Cr. In fact, V, Nb, N and other strengthening elements are added to the original 9Cr-1Mo steel to form a new modified steel.
