ASME SA 516 Grade 70N Plates are the high-tensile equivalent within the carbon steel pressure vessel family, offering a minimum tensile strength of 485 MPa. The "N" suffix signifies that these plates are supplied in the Normalized condition, a critical heat treatment that ensures a uniform fine-grain structure. This process significantly improves the steel's toughness and impact resistance, making it the industry standard for high-pressure boilers and vessels that must operate safely under fluctuating thermal conditions.

Engineered for maximum reliability in "Sour Service" environments, our SA 516 GR.70N plates are fully compliant with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 and NACE MR0103. To combat the hazardous effects of wet $H_{2}S$ exposure, these plates undergo Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC) testing as per NACE TM0284, ensuring they are resistant to stepwise cracking and blistering. With additional Vacuum Degassing and low-sulfur processing, these plates provide the structural integrity required for heavy-wall thickness applications in oil refineries, gas processing plants, and petrochemical storage systems.



ASME SA 516 GR.70N NACE MR 0103-0175 PLATES Features

  • » High Tensile Strength: Offers a superior tensile range (485-620 MPa) compared to Grade 60, making it the ideal choice for high-pressure vessel applications requiring thinner wall sections without compromising safety.
  • » Normalized Grain Refinement: Supplied in a normalized condition to ensure a uniform, fine-grained microstructure, which provides consistent mechanical properties and enhanced notch toughness.
  • » Full NACE Compliance: Meets the strict requirements of NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 and NACE MR0103, ensuring the material is suitable for sour service where hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is present.
  • » HIC & SSC Resistance: Specifically processed to resist Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC) and Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC), preventing internal structural damage in acidic refinery environments.
  • » Exceptional Low-Temperature Impact: Features excellent Charpy V-Notch impact values at temperatures as low as -46°C, ensuring high performance in cold climate service.
  • » Clean Steel Practice: Produced using vacuum degassing and calcium treatment for inclusion shape control, resulting in ultra-low sulfur and phosphorus levels for maximum internal purity.
  • » Excellent Weldability: Despite its higher strength, the plate maintains a low carbon equivalent (CEQ), facilitating easy welding and ensuring the integrity of the heat-affected zone (HAZ).
  • » Through-Thickness Ductility: Available with Z-direction testing (Z15, Z25, Z35) to prevent lamellar tearing in heavy-wall welded constructions.

Property Specification
Grade ASME SA 516 GR.70N Boiler and Pressure Vessel Steel Plates
Width 1000mm-4500mm
Thickness 5mm-150mm
Length 3000mm-18000mm
Supply Condition As Rolled, Normalized Rolling, Furnace Normalizing, Vacuum Degassing, Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment or as per customer requirement.
Impact tested 52° C
Tempering Notch toughness can be improved by quenched cooling from hot rolling or normalizing by the supplier. If such a faster cooling rate is agreed upon between purchaser and supplier then the steel is also to be tempered at 1200 F.
Applications Used for weld fabrication of pressure vessels that require improved notch toughness for lower than ambient temperature service.
Process of Manufacturing Hot-Rolled (HR)
