ASME SA 516 GR.60/70N DUAL CERTIFIED PLATES Features

• » Dual Grade Compliance: Formulated to meet the chemical and mechanical specifications of both Grade 60 and Grade 70, providing maximum flexibility for engineering design and inventory.
• » Normalized Grain Structure (N): Supplied in a heat-treated normalized condition to ensure a fine, uniform grain size, which significantly enhances impact resistance and notch toughness.
• » Superior Low-Temperature Performance: Engineered to maintain structural integrity and ductility in lower temperature services, making it ideal for vessels operating in cold climates or cryogenic applications.
• » High Tensile Strength Range: Achieves the higher strength requirements of Grade 70 (485–620 MPa) while retaining the excellent elongation and forming properties of Grade 60.
• » Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ): Manufactured strictly according to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section II, guaranteeing safety for critical containment systems.
• » Excellent Weld Integrity: The controlled carbon equivalent ensures superior weldability, allowing for high-quality joints in heavy-walled vessel shells, heads, and flanges.
• » Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) Resistance: Frequently available with specialized HIC and SSCC testing, making it a "Sour Service" compatible material for the oil and gas sector.
• » Reduced Laminar Tearing: Fully killed and deoxidized steelmaking practices ensure a clean internal structure, minimizing the risk of internal defects under high-stress conditions.
