What is 16Mo3 Steel? (EN 10028-2 Pressure Vessel Grade)

16Mo3 is a Cr-Mo alloy pressure vessel steel with 0.3% molybdenum that provides excellent strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.

  • Designed under the EN 10028-2 European standard.
  • Typically used in boilers, heat exchangers, and refinery reactors.
  • Shows improved resistance to hydrogen attack and hot corrosion.

It is often selected as the European equivalent to ASTM SA 387 Gr 12 Cl 2.

Applications of 16Mo3 in Industry

Boiler Manufacturing

drums, headers, steam lines

Power Plants

pressure vessels, superheaters

Refinery & Petrochemical

reactors, columns, separators

Chemical Processing

fertilizer equipment, process heaters

Heat Exchangers

tubesheets, shells, end plates

EPC Projects

where EN-based compliance is required

Mechanical Properties of 16Mo3 Steel

Property Typical Value Notes
Tensile Strength 440–590 MPa Good for moderate-high stress service
Yield Strength ≥ 220 MPa Ensures structural safety
Elongation 19–23% High ductility for forming
Impact Test 27J at -20°C Excellent notch toughness

Provides strength + toughness balance for long service in boilers & vessels.

Chemical Composition of 16Mo3 Steel

Element Typical Range % Function
Carbon (C) 0.12–0.20 Strength & hardness
Manganese (Mn) 0.40–0.90 Improves toughness & weldability
Silicon (Si) 0.35 max Oxidation resistance
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.025 Low for weldability
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.010 Low for crack resistance
Chromium (Cr) 0.30 max Corrosion resistance
Molybdenum (Mo) 0.25–0.35 Improves creep strength

Its Mo-enhanced chemistry allows stable performance in high-pressure, high-heat service.
