DIWA 353 (EN 1.8807)

DIWA 353 (EN 1.8807) introduction

DIWA 353 is a weldable steel for higher temperature service. It is characterized by high 0.2 % proof stress at elevated temperatures. DIWA 353 is produced using basic oxygen steelmaking process. Its properties are achieved by normalizing and tempering. It is used as plate or formed part for boilers, pressure vessels, piping and other fabricated parts operating at temperatures up to 400 °C.

DIWA 353 is equivalent to steel type 13MnNiMo5-4, Material No. 1.8807. In Germany, it is defined as 13MnNiMo5-4 in VdTÜV-material data sheet 384 for supervised installations e.g. for pressure vessel instal-
lations in accordance with the AD-2000 Merkblätter for temperatures from -10 °C up to 400 °C. Application according to corresponding standards has to be checked for each separate case.
This material specification applies to heavy plates with thicknesses from 6 to 150 mm; higher thicknesses
can be agreed upon.

For mechanical properties: For thicknesses > 150 mm values have to be agreed upon in the state of inquiry.

Equivalent material: EN 13MnNiMo5-4, DIN 13MnNiMo5-4, EN 1.8807, DIN 1.8807

Property Temperature Value Comment
Charpy impact energy, V-notch 0 °C Charpy impact energy, V-notch of 31 J *The specified values are minimum values for the average of 3 tests. No individual value is to be less than 70 % of the specified minimum. For plate thickness below 11 mm the test can be carried out on Charpy-V specimens or Charpy-V-type specimens with reduced width. The minimum impact value will be reduced proportionally to the reduction of the specimen’s cross section
