X10CrMoVNb9-1
1.4903High-chromium creep-resistant martensitic steel equivalent to ASTM Grade 91 (P91/T91/F91). V and Nb additions with controlled N provide exceptional creep rupture strength at temperatures up to 580°C. The foundation steel of modern ultra-supercritical (USC) power plants worldwide. Used for main steam pipes, boiler headers, superheater tubes, and high-temperature pressure components in fossil and nuclear power generation.
