Creep-resistant steels are a particular category of structural steels. They are designed to withstand deformation under a constant load at high temperatures (from 350°c to 700°c)
These steels are used for the construction of valves, flanges, tie rods, pipes, plates, etc. Thanks to their particular mechanical characteristics, these steels also find their application in the chemicaland petrochemical industries, in thermal and nuclear power plants, conveyors of superheated steam at high temperatures, and rotors and pipes that transport hot fluids under pressure. The specific applications of these steels require a high degree of weldability and are therefore all low-carbon steels (max. 0.20%).
