Grade 09CrCuSb Hot Rolled Steel Plate ND Steel Plate Standard Spot
Cutting Thickness 10-100mm
Corrosion-resistant alloy steel material
09CrCuSb is a high-performance corrosion-resistant alloy steel
material, which is mainly used to manufacture equipment working in
high-sulfur flue gas, such as economizers, air preheaters, heat
exchangers and evaporators, to resist condensation corrosion of
sulfur-containing flue gas. This material has high corrosion
resistance, high strength and good toughness, and is suitable for
chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and food industries.
The chemical composition of 09CrCuSb mainly includes carbon (C),
silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), antimony
(Sb), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S), among which the carbon content
does not exceed 0.10%, the silicon content is between 0.20-0.40%,
the manganese content is between 0.35-0.65%, the chromium content
is between 0.70-1.20%, the copper content is between 0.25-0.45%,
the antimony content does not exceed 0.10%, and the phosphorus and
sulfur contents do not exceed 0.10%.
C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Sb | Cu |
≤0.10% - ≤0.12% | 0.20% - 0.40% | 0.35% - 0.65% | ≤0.030 | ≤0.020 | 0.70% - 1.20% - 1.10% | 0.04% - 0.10% | 0.25% - 0.45% |
In addition, 09CrCuSb also has the characteristics of high
corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and oxidation
resistance, high cost performance, and is particularly suitable for
use in acidic and high humidity environments. This material is
widely used in the fields of preheaters and heat exchangers in
industry.
The Solution: 09CrCuSb (ND Steel)
Developed specifically to withstand sulfuric acid dew point
corrosion, 09CrCuSb (ND steel) is a low-alloy steel that combines
corrosion resistance with mechanical strength. It is the material
of choice for industries dealing with flue gases and acidic
environments.
Critical features of ND steel include:
- Excellent Sulfuric Acid Resistance: The inclusion of chromium (Cr),
copper (Cu), and antimony (Sb) enhances the steesteel’slity to
resist sulfuric acid corrosion, especially in high-dew-point
conditions.
- Low-Temperature Performance: ND steel exhibits superior performance
in low-temperature environments typical of economizers and air
preheaters, where sulfuric acid condensation is most likely to
occur.
- High Strength and Durability: The alloy composition ensures that
the steel remains strong and durable under fluctuating temperatures
and corrosive conditions, reducing the need for frequent
replacements or repairs.
- Cost-Effective Maintenance: While ND steel may have a higher
upfront cost than other materials, its longevity and corrosion
resistance translate into significant cost savings over time due to
fewer repairs and less downtime.
Common Applications
ND steel is instrumental in industrial applications where sulfuric
acid corrosion is a concern:
- Boilers: Sulfur-containing fuel in boilers makes ND steel ideal for
parts susceptible to acid dew point corrosion, such as heat-exposed
surfaces.
- Heat Exchangers: In applications where the temperature drop results
in condensation of sulfuric acid, ND steel offers a protective
solution, increasing the lifespan of heat exchanger tubes.
- Economizers: Located in the calmer sections of the flue gas path,
economizers are prone to dew point corrosion. ND steel assistance
helps maintain efficiency and reduce operational costs.
- Air Preheaters: These components are at significant risk due to the
cooling of flue gases, making ND steel crucial for durability and
performance in acidic environments.
Advantages of Using 09CrCuSb in These Applications
- Improved Operational Lifespan: ND steel’s exceptional resistance to
sulfuric acid prolongs the life of boilers, heat exchangers, and
air preheaters, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Thanks to its durability, ND steel
minimizes the need for repairs, saving time and money. Reduced
corrosion also means fewer emergency shutdowns, improving overall
system reliability.
- Increased Efficiency: By mitigating the damaging effects of dew
point corrosion, ND steel helps maintain heat transfer efficiency
in boilers and heat exchangers, leading to optimal energy usage and
lower fuel costs.
