Features:

1. Outstanding High-Temperature Performance: Maintains stable tensile strength (≥325MPa) and yield strength (≥180MPa) even during long-term operation below 540℃, making it particularly suitable for water-cooled wall tube design in power plant boilers.

2. Good Process Adaptability: The surface finish of the steel tubes obtained through cold drawing can reach Ra≤0.8μm, and the dimensional accuracy is controlled within ±0.1mm, allowing direct use in the assembly of precision heat exchange equipment.

3. Safety and Reliability: Strictly adheres to ASME SA192 standards, requiring hydrostatic testing (≥6.9MPa), eddy current testing, or ultrasonic testing to ensure the absence of defects such as cracks and folds.
