A335/SA335 P9 is a seamless ferritic alloy-steel pipe used for high-temperature applications. These pipes are versatile and can be used to transmit water, oil and natural gas.
Key to the composition of chrome moly alloy P9 is the addition of chromium and molybdenum. Chromium, or chrome, improves high-temperature strength, increases oxidation resistance and raises the tensile, yield and hardness at room temperatures. Molybdenum increases the strength, elastic limit, resistance to wear, impact qualities and hardenability. It increases the resistance to softening, restrains grain growth and makes chromium steel less susceptible to embrittlement. Moly is also the most effective additive for increasing high temperature creep strength, or creep resistance. It also enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and inhibits pitting.
A335/SA335 Seamless P9 pipe is often used in the oil and natural gas industry due to its high strength. P9’s great performance properties make it suitable for energy-related applications. P5 is suitable for:
