16Mo3 (15Mo3)

Steel grade 16Mo3 is a low-alloy, heat-resistant steel primarily used for high-temperature applications up to 500°C. It has a high concentration of molybdenum, which gives it a good resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures.

This steel grade is often used for the manufacture of pressure vessels, pipe systems and other components in the power generation industry where high mechanical stresses and elevated temperatures are encountered. It is also a common steel grade for the manufacture of heat exchangers, steam boilers, compressed air containers and components exposed to high pressure and high temperature.

The steel grade 16Mo3 has excellent mechanical properties at both high and low temperatures and is also known for its good weldability and formability. Its high resistance to corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures makes it a reliable steel grade for use in demanding applications.

In summary, the 16Mo3 steel grade is a high-performance low-alloy molybdenum steel suitable for use in high-temperature applications that require high resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
