What are ASTM A182 Gr F1 Alloy Steel Bars?

They are rolled or forged alloy steel bars consisting mainly of molybdenum and chromium, which are produced according to the ASTM A182 standard for high-temperature applications. Gr F1 is a low alloy steel with great weldability and resistance to impact. Gr F1 alloy steel bars are generally employed in pressure equipment, flanges, fittings, and valve applications because they can withstand severe heat and mechanical stress without deforming.

One of the greatest advantages with the use of ASTM A182 Gr F1 Alloy Steel Bars lies in the high resistance they have against oxidation and scaling in environments at high temperatures. This makes them suitable for use in industries that have no room for heat resistance. In addition to increasing tensile strength, the addition of chromium and molybdenum gives them enhanced resistance against corrosion, with the added advantage of being ideal for use in chemically aggressive environments.
