What is ASME SA1017 Grade 122 Steel?

ASME SA1017 Grade 122, also searched as SA-1017 Gr.122, SA1017GR122, SA-1017M Grade 122, SA1017-122, ASTM A1017 Grade 122, 12Cr-2W plate and HCM12A plate, is the Section II, Part A name for 12Cr-0.40Mo-2.00W pressure-vessel plate. SA-1017/SA-1017M is identical with ASTM A1017/A1017M for the ASTM edition listed in that Code year. General requirements follow SA-20 / A20.

This page is not SA-1017 Grade 92. Grade 92 is 9Cr-1.75W. This page is not ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. Grade 91 is 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb. This page is not ASME SA387 Grade 911 Class 2. Grade 911 is 9Cr-1Mo-1W. This page is not SA-1017 Grade 23.

Tensile is 90 ksi / 620 MPa minimum. Grade 122 does not use the 90–120 ksi band written for Grades 911 and 92. Yield is 58 ksi / 400 MPa min. Elongation is 20% in 2 in. Hardness on Grade 122 shall not exceed 250 HB. Delivery is normalized and tempered. Typical austenitize is 1900–1975 °F / 1040–1080 °C. Typical temper for Grade 122 is 1350–1470 °F / 730–800 °C. SA-1017 does not split Grade 122 into Class 1 and Class 2.

SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin). We buy this grade from qualified Chinese mills, check Cr, W, V and Nb on the heat analysis, record N+T and hardness on the certificate, and ship plate to fabricators in the USA, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America.

9Cr sisters belong on ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 and EN 10028-2 X10CrMoVNb9-1. Those are not Grade 122.

Chemical Composition

SA-1017 Grade 122 uses the same chemistry table as A1017 Grade 122. Chromium sits near 10.0–11.5%, not the 8.5–9.5% band of Grades 911 and 92.

Equivalent Material Grades

SA-1017 Grade 122 and A1017 Grade 122 are the same chemistry and the same tensile table. They are not automatic substitutes for P91, P92 or every Chinese 12Cr heat.

In the United States the two official current names are ASME SA-1017 Grade 122 and ASTM A1017 Grade 122. Tube and pipe jobs may still say 12Cr-2W or HCM12A. Plate still has to meet SA-1017 when the specification is plate. ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 is 9Cr, not 12Cr.

In Europe there is no daily EN 10028-2 twin written as Grade 122. EN 10028-2 X10CrMoVNb9-1 is P91. See EN 10028-2.

In China there is no daily GB/T 713 plate twin for Grade 122. Buyers compare HCM12A and 12Cr-2W tube chemistry. GB/T 5310 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN is the P92 / 9Cr-W boiler-tube grade, not 12Cr. GB/T 713 12Cr2Mo1R is 2.25Cr-1Mo vessel plate. Do not treat either name as SA-1017 Grade 122.

12Cr-2W Elevated-Temperature Service

Buyers pick SA-1017 Gr.122 when a Code list or mill requisition writes the ASME name for 12Cr-2W plate. Search phrases such as SA1017GR122, SA-1017 Grade 122, SA-1017M Grade 122, 12Cr-2W plate and HCM12A plate all point here.

It is not a substitute for SA-1017 Grade 92. That grade is 9Cr-1.75W at 620–840 MPa. It is not a substitute for ASME SA387 Grade 91 Class 2. That grade is 9Cr without 2% W.

SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Weldability

SA-1017 Grade 122 is killed 12Cr-0.40Mo-2.00W-V-Nb vessel plate at 620 MPa min. Treat welding as production welding, and as ASME Section I / Section VIII welding when the equipment is Code work.

Qualify to Section IX and the construction section named on the job. Consumables must match a 12Cr-2W family. A procedure written for ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 is P91, not Grade 122. A procedure written for Grade 92 is P92, not 12Cr. Preheat, interpass and PWHT must stay inside the qualified WPS. Grade 122 hardness is already capped at 250 HB; the weld procedure has to respect that cap if the file carries it into the weld zone. The fabricator owns the WPS. SHH STEEL can share mill heat data for that review.

Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition

Usual delivery from SHH STEEL for SA-1017 Gr.122 is normalized and tempered.

  • Austenitize: 1040–1080 °C (1900–1975 °F)
  • Temper for Grade 122: 730–800 °C (1350–1470 °F)

Grade 911 in the same book tempers at the tighter 740–780 °C band. Do not mix the two temper tables.

Annealed plate cannot be SA-1017 Grade 122.

If the vessel will see PWHT, say so. Simulated PWHT on test coupons is worth naming. Extra simulation, 3.2 hold points or special NDE add time. Plan about two months when those extras are on the order.

The certificate lists ASME SA-1017 Grade 122 and/or ASTM A1017 Grade 122 as the order named; heat number; heat analysis including Cr, W, V and Nb; tensile to the Grade 122 minimum table; hardness not over 250 HB; heat-treatment route and temperatures. Certificates may be EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2.

Dimensions

Usual supply range from SHH STEEL for SA-1017 Gr.122 12Cr-2W vessel plate:

  • Thickness: commonly 6 mm – 150 mm, thicker by mill agreement
  • Width: 1500 mm – 4000 mm
  • Length: 3000 mm – 12000 mm

Maximum thickness is limited by the ability of the composition to meet the Grade 122 tensile and 250 HB tables. 9Cr plate belongs on ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 or SA-1017 Grade 92.

Tolerances

Dimensional limits for ASME SA-1017 Grade 122 follow ASME SA-20 / ASTM A20 unless the purchase order names another table.

Typical thickness tolerance idea for SA-1017 Gr.122 (SA-20 / A20 reference)

Nominal thickness (mm)Usual minus (mm)Usual plus (mm)
6 – 16−0.3+0.8
16 – 25−0.4+0.9
25 – 40−0.5+1.0
40 – 80−0.8+1.2
80 – 150−1.0+1.6

Width on 1500–4000 mm plate is commonly held to about ±20–25 mm unless a tighter extra is named. Length on 3000–12000 mm plate is commonly held to about +50 / 0 mm or ±25 mm by mill practice. Flatness follows SA-20 / A20 unless a tighter class is written. SHH STEEL will not assume a zero-minus extra on SA1017GR122 unless the order says so.

Supplementary Requirements

SA-1017 Grade 122 already defines chemistry, the 620 MPa minimum table, 250 HB max and N+T. Extra items still have to be written on the purchase order.

Book name. Write SA-1017 Grade 122, A1017 Grade 122, or both.

Code year. Name the BPVC edition so the ASTM revision on the MTC can be checked.

Heat-treatment route. Write normalized and tempered. Do not accept annealed plate.

Hardness after PWHT. Repeat the 250 HB cap on simulated coupons if the file needs it.

Charpy details. Write temperature, joules, location and orientation if impact is required.

Simulated PWHT. Name hold temperature, hold time and cooling rate on the coupon.

Product analysis. Especially C, Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, P and S.

Through-thickness / Z-test. Name Z15, Z25 or Z35 when needed.

NDE. SA-20 / A20 ultrasonic extras, ASTM A435 or ASTM A578 as named.

Third-party witness. EN 10204 3.2 with SGS, TÜV, BV, ABS, CCS, DNV or the inspector named.

Identification and stamping. Heat number, SA-1017 Grade 122 / A1017 Grade 122, thickness and mill logo.

Why Choose SHH STEEL

Experience on this grade is simple: print SA-1017 when the order writes SA-1017, keep 12Cr and 2W on the certificate, and keep Grade 122 away from 91, 92 and 911. SHH STEEL as a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) prices SA-1017 Gr.122 from first-line mills, reports 12Cr-0.40Mo-2.00W chemistry, records N+T and 250 HB max, and issues 3.1 as standard or 3.2 when specified.

We keep the grade on the order. SA1017GR122 is not ASME SA387 Grade 91 Class 2. SA-1017 Grade 122 is not ASME SA387 Grade 911 Class 2. SA-1017 Grade 122 is not GB/T 713 12Cr2Mo1R. If the drawing says Grade 92 or Grade 91, we will not ship 122 and call 12Cr close.

FAQ

What is ASME SA1017 Grade 122 steel plate?
ASME SA-1017 Grade 122, also searched as SA1017 Gr.122, SA1017GR122, SA-1017M Grade 122, A1017 Grade 122, 12Cr-2W plate and HCM12A plate, is 12Cr-0.40Mo-2.00W pressure-vessel plate. It is identical with ASTM A1017 Grade 122. Tensile is 620 MPa min, yield is 400 MPa min, and hardness is 250 HB max. Delivery is normalized and tempered. SHH STEEL supplies this plate worldwide as a global steel mill sourcing partner.
Is SA-1017 Grade 122 the same as A1017 Grade 122?
Chemistry and tensile are the same for the Code-adopted year. The difference is the name on the certificate. SHH STEEL prints the name the purchase order writes.
Why does Grade 122 have no 840 MPa tensile cap?
SA-1017 writes Grade 122 as 90 ksi / 620 MPa minimum. Grades 911 and 92 use 90–120 ksi. Do not copy that upper band onto 122 unless the order writes it.
What is the Chinese equivalent of SA1017GR122?
There is no daily GB/T 713 plate twin. Market comparison is HCM12A / 12Cr-2W. GB/T 5310 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN is P92, not Grade 122. GB/T 713 12Cr2Mo1R is 2.25Cr-1Mo, not 12Cr-2W.
How is SA-1017 Grade 122 different from Grade 92?
Grade 122 is 12Cr-2W with a 620 MPa minimum tensile. Grade 92 is 9Cr-1.75W with a 620–840 MPa band.
