CrMoV - Chrome-Moly-Vanadium

CrMoV steel bars

CrMov is a low alloy ferritic steel. Also known as a creep resisting alloy, this material is used in elevated temperature environments. Base materials for the alloy provide creep rupture properties up to 580°C. Developed in the 1970s, this material is typically used in fasteners and other parts for power plants.
