Description
Alloy Geek P91 or 9Cr1Mo Steel Certified Reference Material
Alloy P91, also known as ASTM A335 P91, is a high-temperature, ferritic-martensitic alloy steel that is commonly used in power generation and petrochemical industries for applications involving elevated temperatures and high-pressure conditions. It is a part of the ASTM A335 specification, which covers seamless ferritic alloy steel pipe for high-temperature service. It comes in two types, P91 Type 1 and P91 Type two with their chemical differences shown below.
For field verification and PMI work, many customers pair this material with pre-owned handheld XRF analyzers for rapid, on-site analysis.
