ASTM A516 Gr.70 boiler plate is an excellent choice for service in lower than ambient temperature applications.
A516 Gr.70 boiler steel has excellent notch toughness and is used in both pressure vessels and industrial boilers.
ASTM A516 Gr.70 boiler plate contains manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon at the highest levels allowed by
the ASTM. A516 Gr.70 boiler steel is a high strength metal, and it is easy to fabricate and can be securely welded.
ASTM A516 Gr.70 boiler plate also has good corrosion resistance.
SA 516 Gr. 70 Plates Specification
| 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. |
