Features: This book systematically introduces four series of high-performance pressure vessels and pressure pipe steel developed by Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Company over the past 30 years in collaboration with more than 20 domestic research institutions, universities, design and manufacturing firms, welding materials, and forging units. These include low-welding-crack-sensitivity series steel with international advanced levels, high-strength steel and low-welding-crack-sensitivity steel for high-energy welding, high-performance low-temperature series steel, normalized high-strength series steel, and medium-temperature hydrogen-resistant series steel, among others. The technical standards of these steels, particularly the toughness indicators, have reached advanced or leading levels compared to their foreign counterparts. They are ideal materials for manufacturing high-parameter pressure vessels and pressure pipes. The book compiles the research status, physical properties, mechanical properties, welding performance, cold and hot working performance, stress corrosion performance, microstructure mechanism research, and engineering applications of 12 mature new steel grades. This book can serve as a reference for engineering technicians in petrochemical, chemical, hydropower, nuclear power, machinery, energy, transportation, metallurgy, urban construction, and other fields to rationally select and properly use high-performance steel. It is also suitable for reference by faculty and students of relevant majors in colleges and universities.
