ASTM A516 grade 70 material is medium carbon alloy steel designed for use in pressure vessels and boilers. ASTM A516 grade 70 material is also known as PVQ steel (Pressure Vessel Quality). PVQ steel ASTM A516 grade 70 material plays a vital role in a variety of demanding applications, including oil and gas and power generation.
PVQ steel ASTM A516 grade 70 material contains much higher chromium levels, and additional alloying ingredients like molybdenum, nickel, titanium, aluminium, copper, nitrogen, phosphorous and selenium. That has great effect on PVQ steel ASTM A516 grade 70 material properties.
