Compared with A588 high strength low alloy steel, A516-70 steel own a relatively high carbon content. A516-70 steel chemical compositions include highest levels manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon, which makes A516-70 steel the strongest carbon steel plates specified by the ASTM.
A516 plate is also available in grades 55, 60, and 65, bebon steel is also professional in supplying A516-55 steel plates, A516-60 steel plates, A516-65 steel plates. A common trade name for A516-70 plate is PVQ Plate.
A516-70 steel plates typical applications
A516-70 plate is used to fabricate low-to-medium pressure vessels, boilers and processing equipment.
A516-70 steel plates specifications:
Thicknesses: 0.1875" thru 2"
Widths: 48", 72", 96", 120"
Note: When normalized, the sizes should be greater than 1-1/2”. Sizes 1-1/2” and below can be produced as normalized upon request but not required by ASTM.
