EN10216-2 15NiCuMoNb5-6-4 Seamless Steel Tubes
Short Description:
15NiCuMoNb5-6-4 (diwa373, 15NiCuMoNb5, or WB36) is the material developed by mannesman company in Germany, which is used for nuclear power generating units and high parameter thermal power generating units.
15NiCuMoNb5-6-4 (DIWA373, 15NiCuMoNb5, or WB36) is the material developed by mannesman company in Germany, which is used for nuclear power generating units and high parameter thermal power generating units. It is developed by adding Ni Cu Mo Nb alloy elements on the basis of carbon manganese steel. Because the alloy elements such as Ni, Cu, Mo and Nb are added to the steel, it has the effect of fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening, thus greatly improving the high temperature strength and permanent strength of the steel, and the addition of Cu does not reduce the permanent plasticity of the steel.
15NiCuMoNb5-6-4 steel is characterized by strength, yield limit is 40% higher than 20g steel, service temperature is 400 ℃, it can be used as high-pressure pipe with pipe wall temperature up to 500 ℃, or as high-temperature and high-pressure components of high parameter thermal power generating units, such as boiler drum, steam water separator, header, steam generator, steam pipe and nuclear power equipment.

Metallographic structure
The supply state of 15nicumonb5-6-4 seamless steel tube (diwa373, WB36) steel is normalizing (quenching) + tempering. After the final heat treatment of normalizing and tempering, the microstructure is bainite + ferrite + sorbite or bainite + a small amount of ferrite.
Welding material
15nicumonb5-6-4 steel tubes have good welding performance. Manual welding rod l-80 (aws-e11016g), tungsten argon arc welding wire smh-80 (aws-e110s) or corresponding domestic welding materials. In order to avoid welding cracks, preheating (temperature 150-200 ℃) shall be carried out before welding. Stress relief treatment shall be carried out after welding.
The W36 made in China has good weldability and high cold crack sensitivity, but it can prevent cold crack by preheating at 150 ℃, and it is not sensitive to reheat crack. Manual arc welding with welding rod che607ni backing h10mn2nimoa / h08mn2moa welding wire and sj101 flux submerged arc welding are used for automatic full welding. After 530-600 ℃ post weld heat treatment, it has good performance and can meet the manufacturing requirements.
