Hello Sandy,
Some insights on your query on P-91 steel.
9Cr-1Mo-V alloy is a deep hardening steel and forms almost 100% martensite on cooling.Critical cooling rate to obtain 100% Martensite is about 0.2ºC/sec (0.36ºF/sec).See the Continuous Cooling Temperature (CCT) diagram for Grade 91.
By air cooling ( still or forced) or by quenching and tempering (as agreed between client and manufacturer) from the austenitizing temperature to room temperature, ideally this alloy would transform almost completely to Martensite .
As per ASME, Sec-IIA, SA 335,P-91, the pipes are to be supplied as:-
- Normalized ( [1040–1080deg C)] and Tempered [730–800 deg C)
- Quenched and tempered (Temperature as above).This applies for typically 3" and above.
See under Table-2, SA 335 for details. For the section thickness specified below normalizing and tempering would be applicable.
Hope this would clarify your query.
Thanks.

Subject: [MW:10937] Heat Treatment of P91 Pipe
Dear All,
I like a little knowledge about P91 seamless pipe heat treatment. As per standard its says Normalizing ans tempering. Please guide about that what should be cooling media and cooling rate on both the condition when the job thickness is 38 & 30 mm.
