Surface Condition
ASTM A213 T2 Seamless Ferritic alloy cold-finished steel tubes shall be free of scale and suitable for inspection. A slight amount of oxidation is not considered scale.
ASTM A213 T2 Seamless Ferritic alloy hot-finished steel tubes shall be free of loose scale and suitable for inspection.
Any special finish requirement be subject to agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.
Oxidation resistance
SA213 T2 steel is mainly used in Superheater and reheater system with working temperature lower than 540 ℃, and its oxidation resistance is better than that of carbon steel and carbon manganese steel.
Welding performance
SA213 T2 steel has good welding performance, generally it can be annealed at 650 ~ 700 ℃ after welding without preheating. Heat 207 for manual welding rod and h12crmo / jgs-1cm for GTAW.
Tubes bending
ASME SA213 T2 seamless steel tubes are suitable for all kinds of bending processes. After cold bending, it needs to be de stressed; when the temperature of hot bending exceeds the tempering temperature, it should be re normalized and re ignited.
