SA 516 GR.60N NACE and HIC Plates are top-notch carbon steel pressure vessel plates crafted to excel in environments where resisting hydrogen-induced cracking and sulfide-stress corrosion is crucial. These plates undergo a normalization process to boost their toughness and structural reliability, ensuring they meet the NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards. This makes them perfect for sour service conditions found in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors. With their excellent weldability, consistent strength, and refined microstructure, SA 516 GR.60N NACE and HIC plates are a trustworthy choice for critical pressure-containing applications that require long-lasting durability and safety.
These plates are made from a blend of carbon, manganese, silicon, and carefully controlled trace elements to enhance toughness, corrosion resistance, and crack resistance. The normalization process improves the grain structure and boosts mechanical stability. They offer impressive yield and tensile strength, outstanding notch toughness, and exceptional resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking and sulfide stress corrosion, particularly in wet Hâ‚‚S environments. Thanks to their balanced chemistry and controlled hardness, these plates are well-suited for welding, forming, and fabrication without sacrificing structural integrity or performance in demanding service conditions.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60N 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. |
