16Mo3 is a low-alloy steel with a specified chemical composition that includes a higher content of molybdenum (Mo). The "16" in 16Mo3 stands for the approximate percentage of molybdenum, which is around 0.30% to 0.35%. This molybdenum content imparts specific properties to the steel, including improved heat resistance and creep strength. As a result, 16Mo3 steel is often used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications, particularly in the manufacturing of seamless steel pipes. Here's an introduction of 16Mo3 seamless steel pipe.

Applications:
Boilers and Pressure Vessels: 16Mo3 seamless steel pipes are commonly used in the construction of boilers and pressure vessels for the power generation, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries. Their high-temperature strength and resistance to oxidation and corrosion make them suitable for these applications.
Heat Exchangers: These pipes are used in the fabrication of heat exchangers, which are crucial components in various industrial processes, including power plants, refineries, and chemical plants. The heat resistance of 16Mo3 steel is advantageous in transferring heat efficiently.
Piping Systems: In high-temperature piping systems, such as those found in the petrochemical and power industries, 16Mo3 seamless steel pipes are used to transport hot fluids and gases under high pressures.
Superheaters and Reheaters: These pipes are employed in the construction of superheaters and reheaters in steam power plants, where they are exposed to elevated temperatures and pressure.
United Steel Industry As the most important steel pipe manufacturer and exporter in China, in the past 20 years, we have completed more than 100 projects, with partners in more than 100 countries, and established relationships with oil and gas and EPC companies in many countries business relationship.
