What is DIN 17155 HII / 17Mn4 Steel?

DIN 17155 is a withdrawn but widely used German standard for weldable pressure vessel steels. Though superseded by EN 10028, its grades like HII and 17Mn4 continue to be used globally for high-temperature pressure applications.

  • HII Plate: Non-alloy pressure vessel steel with high tensile strength and good formability.
  • 17Mn4 Plate: Low-alloy pressure steel with enhanced impact toughness and elevated temperature performance.

These plates are typically supplied in normalized condition and are suitable for vessels operating with steam, hydrogen, and acidic gases.

Applications of HII / 17Mn4 Plates Across Industries

DIN 17155 plates are used in a variety of industrial segments where pressure, heat, and corrosion resistance are essential:

  • Boiler Shells & Tubes
  • High-Pressure Steam Vessels
  • LPG Storage Cylinders
  • Petrochemical Process Equipment
  • Refinery and Hydrogen Units
  • Heat Exchangers & Reactors

They are also suitable for hydrogen service, fossil energy boilers, and acidic fluid pressure environments.

Mechanical Properties of DIN 17155 HII and 17Mn4

Property DIN HII DIN 17Mn4
Yield Strength (min) 265 MPa 275–295 MPa
Tensile Strength 410–530 MPa 440–590 MPa
Elongation (%) ≥ 22% ≥ 21%
Impact Energy Notch tested @ -20°C Good impact performance
Thickness Range 6 mm – 100 mm 6 mm – 80 mm

Both materials offer excellent cold formability and welding performance, suitable for fabrication under ASME and IBR codes.

DIN 17155 Standard & Equivalent Grades

Although the DIN 17155 standard has been superseded by EN 10028, HII and 17Mn4 plates remain widely accepted due to their proven performance and legacy use in engineering specifications.

Here are some equivalent international grades:

Standard HII Equivalent 17Mn4 Equivalent
ASTM A516 Gr 60 (approx.) A516 Gr 65 / SA537 (approx.)
EN 10028 P265GH P295GH / P355GH
IS (India) IS 2041 Gr 265 IS 2041 Gr 295
JIS SB410 SB450

We can also supply dual-compliant plates for EN + DIN + ASME usage, including IBR-certified boiler projects.

Thickness Range & Available Plate Sizes

Hindustan Steel Corporation offers a wide range of DIN 17155 HII and 17Mn4 plates, available from ready stock or with short mill lead times.

Available Range:

  • Thickness: 6 mm to 100 mm
  • Width: 1250 mm to 3000 mm
  • Length: 3000 mm to 12000 mm
  • Edge Options: Mill edge / Sheared / Bevelled
  • Surface Finish: Hot rolled, shot-blasted, or pickled

We also provide cut-to-length, CNC-profiled plates and custom-shaped pressure components with marking and traceability.

Heat Treatment & Normalizing Options

DIN 17155 HII and 17Mn4 plates are supplied in normalized condition, ensuring grain refinement, improved toughness, and resistance to stress rupture.

  1. Normalized (N): Standard condition for boiler-grade steels
  2. Stress Relieved (SR): On request for precision components
  3. PWHT Simulation: For welding performance assessment
  4. Impact Testing: Charpy V-notch @ -20°C available

These treatments help ensure long-term strength and metallurgical stability under cyclic temperature and high-pressure exposure.

Welding, Cutting & Fabrication Guidance

Both HII and 17Mn4 are highly weldable and formable, making them a reliable choice for complex fabrication processes.

  • Welding: Suitable for SMAW, SAW, TIG, MIG with low hydrogen electrodes
  • Preheat: Optional below 25 mm; advised above 40 mm
  • PWHT: Recommended for thick-wall or multi-pass welds
  • Machining: Good results with standard carbon steel tooling
  • Bending & Forming: Cold and hot bending possible with minimal cracking risk

We provide edge-prepped, UT-tested, and stamped plates ready for boiler shop or vessel yard usage.
