ASTM A1017 Grade 92 Steel Plate | A1017 Gr.92 9Cr-1.75W Vessel Plate
What is ASTM A1017 Grade 92 Steel?
ASTM A1017 Grade 92, also searched as A1017 Gr.92, A1017GR92, A1017-92, SA-1017 Grade 92, SA1017 Gr.92, P92 plate and T92 plate, is the 9Cr-0.45Mo-1.75W pressure-vessel grade in ASTM A1017/A1017M. That book covers chromium-molybdenum-tungsten plates for welded boilers and vessels at elevated temperature. General requirements follow ASTM A20 / ASME SA-20. The Code twin is SA-1017 Grade 92.
This page is not ASTM A1017 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 ASTM A387 Grade 9 Class 2. Grade 9 is 9Cr-1Mo only.
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. A1017 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.

European 9Cr comparison belongs on EN 10028-2, especially EN 10028-2 X10CrMoVNb9-1. That grade is P91, not P92.
Chemical Composition
Grade 92 is defined by high tungsten and lower molybdenum than Grade 911. Heat analysis and product analysis both belong on the certificate when the order asks for product analysis.
Heat Analysis and Product Analysis — ASTM A1017 Grade 92

If tungsten is only about 1.0% and molybdenum is 0.90–1.10%, the heat is Grade 911, not 92. If tungsten is missing, the heat may be ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. SHH STEEL prints heat analysis on every certificate. Density is 7.85 g/cm³.
Mechanical Properties
Buyers search A1017 Gr.92 mechanical properties, A1017GR92 yield, P92 plate tensile and SA-1017 Grade 92 tensile.
Tensile and Yield — ASTM A1017 Grade 92
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 90–120 ksi / 620–840 MPa |
| Yield strength, min | 64 ksi / 440 MPa |
| Elongation in 2 in. [50 mm], min | 20% |
| Density | 7.85 g/cm³ |
Grade 911 uses the same 620–840 MPa / 440 MPa band, but elongation on 911 is 18%. Grade 91 Class 2 is 585–760 MPa / 415 MPa. Grade 23 is 510–690 MPa / 400 MPa. Grade 122 is 620 MPa min / 400 MPa. Same 90 ksi floor as 911 is not a reason to swap chemistry.

Equivalent Material Grades
There is no official one-to-one worldwide swap for A1017 Gr.92. What buyers compare is the P92 / 9Cr-1.75W idea.
In the United States the current plate name is ASTM A1017 Grade 92. The Code name is SA-1017 Grade 92. Pipe and tube jobs use P92 / T92. Plate still has to meet A1017 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.

9Cr-1.75W Elevated-Temperature Service
Buyers pick A1017 Gr.92 when a boiler, header or high-temperature vessel file wants P92 chemistry and the 620–840 MPa table. Search phrases such as A1017GR92, A1017 Grade 92, SA-1017 Grade 92, P92 plate and T92 plate all point here.
It is not a substitute for ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. That grade has no 1.75% W. It is not a substitute for ASTM A387 Grade 911 Class 2. That grade is 1Mo-1W, not 0.45Mo-1.75W.
SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Weldability
A1017 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 the applicable code. 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 A1017 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 Grade 92. If the mill only annealed the heat, it cannot be certified A1017 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 ASTM A1017 Grade 92 and/or SA-1017 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 A1017 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 ASTM A1017 Grade 92 follow ASTM A20 / ASME SA-20 unless the purchase order names another table.
Typical thickness tolerance idea for A1017 Gr.92 (A20 / SA-20 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 A20 / SA-20 unless a tighter class is written. SHH STEEL will not assume a zero-minus extra on A1017GR92 unless the order says so.
Supplementary Requirements
A1017 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 A1017 Grade 92, SA-1017 Grade 92, or both.
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. A20 / SA-20 ultrasonic extras, ASTM A435 or ASTM A578 as named.
Hardness. Write max HB after heat treatment or after simulated PWHT if the file caps it.
Third-party witness. EN 10204 3.2 with SGS, TÜV, BV, ABS, CCS, DNV or the inspector named.
Identification and stamping. Heat number, A1017 Grade 92 / SA-1017 Grade 92, thickness and mill logo.
Applications

A1017 Grade 92 is the plate for a file that wants P92 / 9Cr-1.75W. It is the wrong plate for P91. That work is ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. It is the wrong plate for P911. That work is ASTM A387 Grade 911 Class 2.

Why Choose SHH STEEL
Experience on this grade is simple: 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 A1017 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. A1017GR92 is not ASTM A387 Grade 91 Class 2. A1017 Grade 92 is not ASTM A387 Grade 911 Class 2. If the drawing says Grade 91 or Grade 911, we will not ship 92 and call 9Cr enough.
FAQ
- What is A1017 Grade 92 steel plate?
- ASTM A1017 Grade 92, also searched as A1017 Gr.92, A1017GR92, SA-1017 Grade 92, P92 plate and T92 plate, is 9Cr-0.45Mo-1.75W pressure-vessel plate. Tensile is 620–840 MPa and yield is 440 MPa min.
