GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR Steel Plate | 11MnNiMoDR Low Temp Vessel Plate
General Description
11MnNiMoDR is the grade GB/T 713.3 uses as the naming example. The standard itself writes: 11 = average carbon in parts per ten thousand, MnNiMo = manganese, nickel and molybdenum, DR = low-temperature vessel. That is why buyers search GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR, 11MnNiMoDR steel plate and 11MnNiMoDR low temp vessel plate.
It is one of the four grades added when GB/T 713.3-2023 replaced GB/T 3531-2014. The others are Q420DR, Q460DR and 13MnNiDR. It is also the only grade in GB/T 713.3 Table 2 delivered quenched and tempered. The rest of the book is N or N+T. Do not order 11MnNiMoDR and expect a normalize-only plate.
Yield is 420 MPa at 5–60 mm. Tensile is 560–670 MPa. Impact is −70 °C, 60 J. SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin) for this grade.
Do not ship 09MnNiDR against 11MnNiMoDR. 09MnNiDR is also −70 °C, but it is N or N+T, lower strength, and molybdenum is only a residual limit. Do not ship 13MnNiDR. That grade is −60 °C and N or N+T. Do not ship 13MnNiMoR. That grade is GB/T 713.2 elevated-temperature plate, not a low-temperature QT plate.

Chemical Composition
Heat analysis follows GB/T 713.3 Table 1. Product analysis follows GB/T 713.1. Write both on the PO if the destination file needs finished-plate chemistry.
Heat Analysis and Product Analysis — GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR
| Element | Heat Analysis (%) | Product Analysis, when ordered (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon (C), max | 0.14 | 0.16 |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.15 – 0.50 | 0.13 – 0.55 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 1.20 – 1.60 | 1.15 – 1.70 |
| Phosphorus (P), max | 0.015 | 0.020 |
| Sulfur (S), max | 0.005 | 0.008 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 0.40 – 0.90 | 0.38 – 0.95 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 0.10 – 0.30 | 0.08 – 0.33 |
| Vanadium (V), max | 0.05 | 0.06 |
| Niobium (Nb), max | 0.050 | 0.055 |
| Nitrogen (N), max | 0.012 | 0.014 |
| Acid-soluble aluminum (Alt), min | 0.020 | 0.015 |
Nickel and molybdenum are both required. Note b in GB/T 713.3: when thickness is less than 12 mm, the molybdenum lower limit is not required. Above 12 mm, keep Mo in 0.10–0.30%. That footnote is easy to miss on a thin-plate order. SHH STEEL reports heat analysis on every certificate and product analysis when the order names it.
Mechanical Properties
This is the high-strength −70 °C grade in GB/T 713.3. Strength comes from QT, not from a normalize route.
Tensile and Yield — GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR
| Thickness (mm) | Yield min (MPa) | Tensile (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 – 60 | 420 | 560 – 670 |
| 60 – 80 | 400 | 560 – 670 |
| 80 – 100 | 380 | 560 – 670 |
| Density | 7.85 g/cm³ | 7.85 g/cm³ |
Elongation is 19% min. Impact is −70 °C, 60 J. Bend is 180°, D=3a. Delivery is quenched and tempered.
Do not quote 420 MPa yield on a 90 mm plate. Do not treat 560–670 MPa tensile as permission to stamp SA517 Gr.B or SA203 Gr.D. SA-517 is a different QT family. SA-203 Grade D is 3.5Ni.

−70 °C QT Pressure-Vessel Service
Buyers pick 11MnNiMoDR when the file wants −70 °C and more strength than 09MnNiDR. The extra strength comes from quench and temper plus a required molybdenum band. It is a 2023 addition, so older 3531 purchase specs will not list it. Confirm the drawing before rolling.
It is not an ASME Section VIII plate by default. An ASME file should name SA203 Gr.D, SA662 Gr.C or an SA-517 grade and then write the extras.
SHH STEEL supplies this plate to fabricators in the United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It is not 9Ni plate under GB/T 713.4. Stainless inquiries belong on ASME SA240 or ASTM A240.
Weldability
11MnNiMoDR is killed Mn-Ni-Mo vessel plate in the quenched-and-tempered condition. Treat welding as production welding, and as Code welding when the equipment is a vessel.
Qualify to the applicable code. ASME dual-name work uses ASME Section IX. Match consumables to the 560–670 MPa tensile band and the −70 °C toughness target. A 09MnNiDR normalize procedure is not automatically valid. A 13MnNiMoR procedure is the wrong book. Preheat and hydrogen control matter more on QT plate than on 16MnDR. 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 is quenched-and-tempered GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR. That is the Table 2 delivery. Normalize-only shipment is not the default for this grade.
If the vessel will see PWHT, say so. Test coupons then follow a simulated cycle. Extra simulation, 3.2 hold points or special NDE add time. Plan about two months when those extras are on the order. QT plus simulated PWHT is not a 45-day stock item.
The certificate lists GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR; heat number; heat analysis; product analysis when ordered; tensile to the correct thickness column; QT; impact at −70 °C. Certificates may be EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2.
Dimensions
Usual supply range from SHH STEEL for 11MnNiMoDR low temp vessel plate:
- Thickness: commonly 5 mm – 100 mm
- Width: 1500 mm – 4000 mm
- Length: 3000 mm – 12000 mm
- Cut-to-length plates and nest sizes inside those limits
Ship plate inquiries belong on shipbuilding steel plates or BV Rules. Weathering plate belongs on EN 10025-5 or Corten A/B. TMCP fine-grain structural belongs on EN 10025-4. QT structural belongs on EN 10025-6. Ordinary structural belongs on EN 10025-2 or JIS G3106.
Tolerances
Dimensional limits follow GB/T 713.1 and the mill rolling standard named on the order. Do not apply ASTM A36/A36M structural tolerances to a Chinese vessel plate without writing them. UT to GB/T 2970, JB/T 4730 / NB/T 47013.3, EN 10160 or ASTM A435 / A577 / A578 is added when the order names it.
Supplementary Requirements
Most export 11MnNiMoDR orders add extras. SHH STEEL does not assume them.
Charpy details. Temperature, energy, location and orientation. GB default is −70 °C / 60 J.
Product analysis. Add this when the destination file wants finished-plate chemistry.
Simulated PWHT. When the equipment will be stress-relieved. Write this on QT plate.
NDE. UT per the named method.
Z-direction. Z15 / Z25 / Z35 when the drawing names it.
HIC / NACE / SSC. Only when written.
Third-party. EN 10204 3.2, with inspectors arranged for US, Mexican, European, Middle East, Japanese or Korean documentation packages.

Why Choose SHH STEEL
SHH STEEL is a global steel mill sourcing partner and steel manufacturer & exporter (mill-direct, China origin). We supply ASTM / ASME / EN / DIN / JIS / GB steel to the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. On GB/T 713.3 11MnNiMoDR that means mill pricing, 11MnNiMoDR chemistry reported as heat analysis and as product analysis when ordered, recorded QT, tensile results to the correct thickness column, −70 °C impact, 3.1 as standard and 3.2 when specified.
We keep the grade on the order. 11MnNiMoDR is not 09MnNiDR. 11MnNiMoDR is not 13MnNiDR. 11MnNiMoDR is not Q420DR. 11MnNiMoDR is not 13MnNiMoR. 11MnNiMoDR is not SA517 Gr.B. If the drawing says normalize only, we will not ship QT and call it close. If the drawing says 09MnNiDR, we will not ship 11MnNiMoDR just because both are −70 °C.

FAQ
- What is 11MnNiMoDR steel plate?
- 11MnNiMoDR is a GB/T 713.3 Mn-Ni-Mo low-temperature pressure-vessel plate added in 2023. Yield is 420 MPa at 5–60 mm and tensile is 560–670 MPa. Impact is −70 °C / 60 J. Delivery is quenched and tempered. SHH STEEL supplies this plate as a global steel mill sourcing partner.
- Why does GB/T 713.3 use 11MnNiMoDR as the naming example?
- Because the name is built from carbon, alloy letters and DR. 11 is average carbon in parts per ten thousand. MnNiMo are the alloy letters. DR means low-temperature vessel.
- Was 11MnNiMoDR in GB/T 3531-2014?
- No. It was added when GB/T 713.3-2023 replaced GB/T 3531-2014.
- How is 11MnNiMoDR different from 09MnNiDR?
- Both can be tested at −70 °C. 09MnNiDR is N or N+T at 300 MPa yield. 11MnNiMoDR is QT at 420 MPa yield and requires molybdenum.
- How is 11MnNiMoDR different from 13MnNiMoR?
- 13MnNiMoR is GB/T 713.2 elevated-temperature N+T plate. 11MnNiMoDR is GB/T 713.3 −70 °C QT plate.
- Is the molybdenum lower limit always required?
- GB/T 713.3 says the Mo lower limit is not required when thickness is less than 12 mm. Above 12 mm, keep 0.10–0.30% Mo.
- Can SHH STEEL ship 11MnNiMoDR to Vietnam, Spain or Japan?
- Yes. SHH STEEL has supplied plates to Vietnam, Spain, Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, Singapore, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, South Africa and the USA.
- What is the delivery time for 11MnNiMoDR?
- Ex-stock about 5–7 days when QT plate is in yard. Standard QT mill rolling about 45 days. Simulated PWHT or 3.2 inspection about 2 months.
- Can SHH STEEL issue EN 10204 3.2 for 11MnNiMoDR?
- Yes. EN 10204 3.1 is standard. EN 10204 3.2 is arranged when written on the order.
