High-temperature materials for boilers and pressure vessels: SB410, SB480, SB480M
JIS G 3103 SB410 SB450 SB480
Check the allowable stress at operating temperature and for long-term use. Supply SB material according to JIS G 3103 in cut plates and processed forms.
In boilers and pressure vessels, high temperatures can lead to prolonged application of pressure and stress, with repeated heating and cooling cycles. Since the strength of steel decreases with rising temperature, material selection cannot be based solely on tensile strength at room temperature. We propose carbon steel plates for boilers and pressure vessels, referred to as "SB materials." SB410, SB450, and SB480 are steel plates according to JIS G 3103. As the operating temperature increases, the allowable tensile stress decreases, and even high-strength steel grades at room temperature may show minimal differences at high temperatures. SB450M and SB480M, which have added Mo, are candidate materials that help mitigate strength reduction at high temperatures. Selection should be based on applicable regulations, design standards, operating temperature, pressure, and holding time.

Line up（5）
| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| SB410 (a grade that serves as the standard for steel classification in carbon steel materials) | It has moderate tensile strength (approximately 410 to 550 MPa) and excellent weldability. Welding and forming are relatively easy, and it has excellent workability. |
| SB450 (carbon steel material with improved strength (450-590 MPa grade)) | Maintaining high mechanical properties at medium to high temperatures while ensuring weldability and workability. Applicable to designs with higher strength requirements than SB410. |
| SB480 (carbon steel plate with even higher strength (480-620 MPa grade)) | Selected for conditions with high design loads and pressures. As strength increases, attention to welding conditions and processing management becomes important. |
| SB450M (a material with molybdenum alloy steel (Mo) added as an alloying element) | While maintaining the same strength range (450-590 MPa class), high-temperature strength and creep characteristics have been improved. This is advantageous for pressure vessels and plant components expected to undergo long-term high-temperature loads. |
| SB480M (achieving both higher strength (480-620 MPa class) and high-temperature characteristics) | Compared to SB480, creep resistance and toughness have been improved, making it suitable for applications with strict requirements. It is suitable for use in high-temperature and high-pressure gas equipment and large pressure vessels. |
