A106 GR B Pipe VS A179 Pipe

Materials and standards:
A106 GR B (also known as ASTM A106Gr B) is a carbon steel pipe material standard, the main components of which are iron, carbon, manganese, silicon and other elements. It is an important steel pipe material, which implements the ASTM A106/A106M high-temperature carbon steel seamless steel pipe standard, and the grade is B.
A179 steel pipe is a high-precision steel pipe material that has been processed by cold drawing or hot rolling. The material can be 20#, 45#, 20cr, 40cr, etc.
Use:
A106 GR B is widely used in pipelines and pressure vessels in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, shipbuilding, and electric power due to its excellent high temperature resistance (maximum operating temperature can reach 425°C) and corrosion resistance, especially in occasions that need to withstand high temperatures, such as thermal power generation, oil refining, chemical industry and other industries.
A179 steel pipe is mainly used to produce pneumatic or hydraulic components, such as cylinders or oil cylinders, because it has the advantages of high precision, high finish, no deformation after cold bending, expansion, flattening and no cracks.
Performance characteristics:
A106 GR B steel pipe not only has excellent high temperature resistance, but also has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and can withstand large mechanical loads. However, its corrosion resistance is relatively poor, so it is necessary to pay attention to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe during use.
A179 steel pipe is known for its high precision, high finish and excellent mechanical properties. It can withstand high pressure and perform various complex deformations and mechanical deep processing.
