GB/T 713.2-2023 / TABLE 2

Mechanical Properties by Plate Thickness

12Cr1MoVR has two strength bands. Quote the plate by actual ordered thickness rather than applying the 245 MPa minimum to every gauge.

Plate thickness tMinimum ReL / Rp0.2Tensile RmMinimum elongation A
6–60 mm245 MPa440–590 MPa19%
>60–100 mm235 MPa430–580 MPa19%
THICKNESS: 6–60 MM

245 MPa

Minimum lower yield strength with 440–590 MPa tensile strength and at least 19% elongation.

THICKNESS: >60–100 MM

235 MPa

Minimum lower yield strength with 430–580 MPa tensile strength and at least 19% elongation.

Values are from the grade-specific Table 2 of GB/T 713.2-2023. Rp0.2 may be used when a clear lower-yield point is absent; GB/T 713.1 governs the general inspection and test procedures. Dimensions outside this strength-table range require a separately verified applicable specification.

GB/T 713.2-2023 / TABLE 3

Elevated-Temperature Strength of 12Cr1MoVR

At higher temperatures, use the grade-specific minimum proof/yield values for the covered thickness interval. These are material test requirements rather than equipment design allowables.

For the same >20–100 mm band, the table lists a minimum of 157 MPa at 400°C. Specify any purchaser-requested high-temperature tensile tests in the purchase order.

Equipment-design note: Table 3 values do not establish a stand-alone allowable stress or maximum continuous service temperature. Verify the governing vessel/boiler design code, temperature, creep exposure and weld conditions before material selection.

PROCUREMENT FAQ

12Cr1MoVR Boiler Steel Plate FAQ

Prepare the precise GB material specification, product dimensions and testing scope before a purchase quotation.

What is 12Cr1MoVR boiler steel plate?

12Cr1MoVR is a chromium–molybdenum–vanadium alloy plate specified under GB/T 713.2 for pressure equipment with defined temperature-property requirements.

Which material standard applies?

GB/T 713.2-2023 supplies grade-specific chemical, tensile, impact and delivery requirements, alongside the general provisions of GB/T 713.1.

What is the 12Cr1MoVR yield strength?

The minimum is 245 MPa for 6–60 mm plate and 235 MPa for thicker plate above 60 mm through 100 mm; use the corresponding tensile-strength band.

What are the chromium, molybdenum and vanadium contents?

The cast-analysis ranges are Cr 0.90–1.20%, Mo 0.25–0.35% and V 0.15–0.30%. The full heat analysis and product-analysis tolerance must also comply.

Does 12Cr1MoVR require normalizing and tempering?

Yes. N + T is the listed delivery condition and clause 7.3.2 requires a minimum tempering temperature of 680°C.

What is the standard Charpy requirement?

GB/T 713.2 Table 2 lists a Charpy V-notch test at +20°C with a minimum impact absorption value of 47 J.

What strength does 12Cr1MoVR have at 400°C?

For plate above 20 mm and up to 100 mm, Table 3 lists a minimum ReL / Rp0.2 of 157 MPa at 400°C. Equipment design allowable stress is assessed separately.

Is 12Cr1MoVR the same as 12Cr1MoVG or ASTM A387?

The R suffix identifies a pressure-equipment plate grade. Products specified to other material standards or product forms require individual code review; they are not automatic equivalents.

Can I order UT or additional hydrogen-service testing?

State the test standard, acceptance class, sampling, mill conditions and service-specific requirements when requesting a quote. Approval or certification depends on the actual qualified mill route.

What information is required for a bulk quotation?

Send the 12Cr1MoVR grade, standard, plate dimensions and quantity, N + T condition, inspection scope, MTC, fabrication list, Incoterm and destination.
