G-TECH 1CrMo

These consumables are designed for long-term use at high temperatures, up to 550 °C. The main applications include power plant components operating with steam, such as pipes, turbine casings, steam chambers, valve bodies, and boiler superheaters. Some materials are also used in refineries, offering resistance to corrosion from sulfur-containing crude oil, with operating temperatures between 250 and 450 °C. Additionally, these materials are used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, providing resistance to hydrogen attack in the production of hydrocrackers, coal liquefaction plants, and NH3 pressure vessels, operating up to 450 °C. In the as-welded condition, the materials offer deposits with a hardness of 300 HV, ideal for hardfacing, essential to withstand metal-to-metal wear and heavy impacts. A minimum preheat and interpass temperature of 200 °C is recommended, up to 300 °C for thicker sections, maintaining this temperature throughout the entire welding process and for a certain period afterwards. For most applications, it is essential to perform Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT), which generally occurs at a temperature of 690 °C, with duration varying based on material thickness.
