EN 10028-2 16Mo3 Plates, Pressure Vessel Steel

High-grade pressure-vessel steel plate manufactured to EN 10028-2 (grade 16Mo3), engineered for elevated-temperature and high-pressure applications. 16Mo3 is a low-alloy steel containing molybdenum that combines good creep resistance, reliable high-temperature strength and excellent weldability — making it suitable for welded boiler and pressure-vessel fabrication.

Key features

• Conforms to EN 10028-2 specification for pressure-vessel steels (grade 16Mo3).
• Commonly accepted equivalents: DIN 17155 (15Mo3), NFA 36-205 (15D3), UNI 5869 (15Mo3), BS 1501 (15o3–243B), UNE 36087 (16Mo3), and references to ASTM A204 where applicable.
• Designed for fabrication: good weldability, formability and dimensional stability after heat treatment.

Typical applications

• Steam boilers, boiler drums and furnace parts
• Pressure vessels, reactors and heat exchangers
• Separators, collectors and hot-gas distributors
• Storage spheres and tanks for oil, gas and liquefied gases
• Turbine volutes, high-pressure water piping and other energy-sector components

Supply and processing services

• Supplied in plate form for fabrication; available for cut-to-size supply and bespoke orders
• In-house processing capabilities: precision cutting, drilling, welding, milling and turning to customer drawings
• Can be supplied ready for downstream fabrication (edge preparation, machining and assembly-ready processing)

Ordering and quality

• Suitable for manufacturers and fabricators in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation and industrial process sectors
• For quotes, available stock, detailed chemical and mechanical data, dimensional tolerances and lead times, request the supplier's material/test certificates and processing options.
