GOST Steel 15XM

15XM is a low-alloy, heat-resistant steel that features chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) as alloying elements to enhance its mechanical strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.

The alloy is primarily utilized in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, steam boilers, and components for thermal power plants.

Heat Treatment of 15XM Pipes

To enhance its mechanical properties and resistance to high-temperature creep, 15XM steel is typically subjected to the following heat treatment processes:

  1. Normalizing: Heating to 900–950°C followed by air cooling.
  2. Tempering: Heating to 650–700°C to relieve internal stresses and improve toughness.
  3. Annealing: May be used to soften the material for further machining or forming.
