EN10028-2 P265GH Steel Plate for Boilers and Pressure Vessels

EN10028-2 P265GH is a European standard material grade for pressure vessel steel plates, widely used in the fabrication of boilers and pressure vessels due to its excellent mechanical properties and chemical composition. This grade is designed to provide reliable performance under various temperature and pressure conditions, making it a preferred choice for critical applications in the energy and chemical processing industries.
Chemical Composition:
The chemical composition of EN10028-2 P265GH is strictly controlled to ensure the material's suitability for high-pressure applications. The typical chemical composition includes:

• Carbon (C): ≤ 0.20%
• Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.35%
• Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.20%
• Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.025%
• Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.015%
• Chromium (Cr): ≤ 0.30%
• Molybdenum (Mo): ≤ 0.08%
• Nickel (Ni): ≤ 0.30%
• Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.30%
• Niobium (Nb): ≤ 0.020%
• Titanium (Ti): ≤ 0.030%
• Vanadium (V): ≤ 0.020%

Mechanical Properties:
The mechanical properties of P265GH are characterized by its high strength and toughness, which are essential for the safety and longevity of boilers and pressure vessels. The key mechanical properties are:

• Yield Strength: ≥ 265 MPa
• Tensile Strength: 410 - 530 MPa
• Elongation: ≥ 22%
• Impact Energy (at -20°C): ≥ 27J

Heat Treatment:
The steel plates are generally supplied in the normalized condition. Normalization is a heat treatment process that refines the grain structure and improves the mechanical properties of the steel. This process involves heating the steel to a temperature above its critical point and then cooling it in air.
Available Dimensions:
TJC Steel Group offers EN10028-2 P265GH steel plates in a wide range of sizes to meet the diverse requirements of our clients. The typical available dimensions are:

• Thickness: 6mm - 300mm
