Working with A182 F22V-ANN
Is A182 F22V easy to machine?
Machines like a 200 HB Q&T Cr-Mo steel — rigid setups, coated carbide at ~90–130 m/min, positive rake and generous coolant; V/Nb carbides give moderate tool wear.
Can A182 F22V be welded?
SAW/SMAW with matching 2.25Cr-1Mo-V consumables, 200–250 °C preheat and interpass, strict hydrogen control, dehydrogenation soak, and 690–705 °C PWHT (long cumulative times must be simulated on test coupons).
Can A182 F22V be formed, bent or molded?
Hot forge at roughly 1200 → 950 °C with adequate reduction, then re-austenitize ~940–970 °C, liquid quench and temper ≥677 °C; cold forming is impractical.
What surface finishes work on A182 F22V?
Not weather resistant — process side gets 309L/347 stainless weld overlay or strip cladding, external surfaces get high-temperature paint or aluminizing; keep hardness ≤235 HBW for wet H2S service.

A182 F22V-ANN — frequently asked
What is A182 F22V-ANN used for?
A182 F22V-ANN is typically used for hydroprocessing reactor components, heavy-wall pressure vessel forgings and nozzles. In short: creep upgrade over F22; hydrogen-service reactor grade; heavy-wall forging steel.
What is the yield strength of A182 F22V-ANN?
A182 F22V-ANN has a typical yield strength of 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) and a tensile strength of 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) — weaker than 78% of steel grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 4 listed tempers.
Is A182 F22V-ANN easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated good (55/100, better than 62% of steel grades). Machines like a 200 HB Q&T Cr-Mo steel — rigid setups, coated carbide at ~90–130 m/min, positive rake and generous coolant; V/Nb carbides give moderate tool wear.
Can A182 F22V-ANN be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated good (55/100). SAW/SMAW with matching 2.25Cr-1Mo-V consumables, 200–250 °C preheat and interpass, strict hydrogen control, dehydrogenation soak, and 690–705 °C PWHT (long cumulative times must be simulated on test coupons).
What surface finishes work on A182 F22V-ANN?
Not weather resistant — process side gets 309L/347 stainless weld overlay or strip cladding, external surfaces get high-temperature paint or aluminizing; keep hardness ≤235 HBW for wet H2S service.
Can A182 F22V-ANN be formed, bent or molded?
Hot forge at roughly 1200 → 950 °C with adequate reduction, then re-austenitize ~940–970 °C, liquid quench and temper ≥677 °C; cold forming is impractical.
What is the maximum service temperature of A182 F22V-ANN?
A182 F22V-ANN is rated for continuous use to about 425°C (797 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between A182 F22V-QT and A182 F22V-ANN?
QT is the default condition — standard as-delivered condition for all A182 F22V forgings; meets 585–760 MPa UTS / 415 MPa min YS with 235 HBW max. ANN: non-code intermediate softening state supplied on request for deep rough machining; must be re-austenitized, quenched and tempered before code acceptance. Yield strength is 480 MPa in QT versus 330 MPa in ANN.
