ASME SA1017 Grade 92 Steel Plate | SA-1017 Gr.92 9Cr-1.75W Vessel Plate
What is ASME SA1017 Grade 92 Steel?
ASME SA1017 Grade 92, also searched as SA-1017 Gr.92, SA1017GR92, SA-1017M Grade 92, SA1017-92, ASTM A1017 Grade 92, P92 plate, T92 plate and 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN, is the Section II, Part A name for 9Cr-0.45Mo-1.75W 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 ASME SA1017 Grade 911. Grade 911 is 9Cr-1Mo-1W. This page is not ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. Grade 91 is 9Cr-1Mo-V-Nb without a 1.75% tungsten window. This page is not ASME SA387 Grade 91 Class 2. This page is not ASTM A387 Grade 9 Class 2.
Tensile is 90–120 ksi / 620–840 MPa. Yield is 64 ksi / 440 MPa min. Elongation is 20% in 2 in. Delivery is normalized and tempered. Typical austenitize is 1900–1975 °F / 1040–1080 °C. Typical temper for Grade 92 is 1350–1470 °F / 730–800 °C. SA-1017 does not split Grade 92 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 W, Mo, V, Nb and N on the heat analysis, record N+T on the certificate, and ship plate to fabricators in the USA, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and South America.

Equivalent Material Grades
SA-1017 Grade 92 and A1017 Grade 92 are the same chemistry and the same tensile table. They are not automatic substitutes for P91, P911 or every Chinese 9Cr heat.
In the United States the two official current names are ASME SA-1017 Grade 92 and ASTM A1017 Grade 92. Pipe and tube jobs use P92 / T92. Plate still has to meet SA-1017 when the specification is plate. ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 is P91. ASTM A387 Grade 911 Class 2 is P911.
In Europe there is no daily EN 10028-2 twin written as Grade 92. EN 10028-2 X10CrMoVNb9-1 is P91. See EN 10028-2.
In China the nearest official name is GB/T 5310 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN (also searched as 10Cr9MoW2VNbN). That book is seamless steel tubes for high-pressure boilers, not a plate book. Chinese mills that roll SA-1017 Grade 92 plate often dual-discuss 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN chemistry, but the plate certificate still has to say SA-1017 Grade 92 / A1017 Grade 92. GB/T 713 vessel-plate grades such as 12Cr2Mo1R, 12Cr1MoVR and 15CrMoR are 1–2.25Cr families, not 9Cr-1.75W. Do not treat Q345R or 12Cr2Mo1R as P92.

9Cr-1.75W Elevated-Temperature Service
Buyers pick SA-1017 Gr.92 when a Code list or mill requisition writes the ASME name for P92 plate. Search phrases such as SA1017GR92, SA-1017 Grade 92, SA-1017M Grade 92, P92 plate, T92 plate and 10Cr9MoW2VNbBN all point here.
It is not a substitute for ASME SA387 Grade 91 Class 2. That grade has no 1.75% W. It is not a substitute for ASME SA387 Grade 911 Class 2. That grade is 1Mo-1W.
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 92 is killed 9Cr-0.45Mo-1.75W-V-Nb vessel plate at 620–840 MPa. 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 P92 family. A procedure written for ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2 is P91, not P92. A procedure written for Grade 911 is P911, not P92. Preheat, interpass and PWHT must stay inside the qualified WPS. Grade 92 temper is already 730–800 °C; PWHT must not walk into the wrong side of Ac1. 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.92 is normalized and tempered.
- Austenitize: 1040–1080 °C (1900–1975 °F)
- Temper for Grade 92: 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 92.
If the vessel will see PWHT, say so. Simulated PWHT on test coupons is worth naming on P92 work. 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 92 and/or ASTM A1017 Grade 92 as the order named; heat number; heat analysis including W, Mo, V, Nb and N; tensile to the Grade 92 table; 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.92 9Cr-1.75W 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 92 tensile table. P91 plate belongs on ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. P911 plate belongs on ASTM A387 Grade 911 Class 2.
Tolerances
Dimensional limits for ASME SA-1017 Grade 92 follow ASME SA-20 / ASTM A20 unless the purchase order names another table.
Typical thickness tolerance idea for SA-1017 Gr.92 (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 SA1017GR92 unless the order says so.
Supplementary Requirements
SA-1017 Grade 92 already defines chemistry, the 620–840 MPa table and N+T. Extra items still have to be written on the purchase order.
Book name. Write SA-1017 Grade 92, A1017 Grade 92, 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 with the Grade 92 temper band. Do not accept annealed plate.
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, N, 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 92 / A1017 Grade 92, thickness and mill logo.

Why Choose SHH STEEL
Experience on this grade is simple: print SA-1017 when the order writes SA-1017, keep 1.75% tungsten on the certificate, and keep 92 away from 91 and 911. SHH STEEL as a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) prices SA-1017 Gr.92 from first-line mills, reports 9Cr-0.45Mo-1.75W chemistry, records N+T in the Grade 92 temper band, and issues 3.1 as standard or 3.2 when specified.
We keep the grade on the order. SA1017GR92 is not ASME SA387 Grade 91 Class 2. SA-1017 Grade 92 is not ASME SA387 Grade 911 Class 2. SA-1017 Grade 92 is not GB/T 713 12Cr2Mo1R. If the drawing says Grade 91 or Grade 911, we will not ship 92 and call 9Cr enough.
