Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary use of 12Cr1MoV alloy steel?
It is mainly used for manufacturing superheated steel pipes, guide pipes, and serpentine pipes in high-pressure equipment with working temperatures up to 585 ºC.
Q2: How do you ensure the quality of the steel?
All products undergo 100% ultrasonic inspection (UT) before loading. Quality grades conform to SEP 1921-84 E/e or D/d standards as requested.
Q3: Which products are currently hot-selling?
Our hot-selling items include D2/1.2379, H13/1.2344, CR12MOV, and DC53 in both plate and round bar forms.
Q4: Can the steel be used directly for mold processing?
Yes, in its pre-hardened state (HRC 30-36), it can be used directly for mold processing to shorten the construction cycle.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for orders?
For items in stock, delivery takes 7-15 days. For customized specifications, the lead time is approximately 15-30 days.
Q6: What surface conditions are available for delivery?
We offer black surface, milled surface, and machined/polished surfaces depending on your requirements.
