ASTM A516 Gr55 boiler and pressure vessel steel A516 Grade 55 high-strength steel plate

A516 Gr55 Boiler and Pressure Vessel steel Description

A516 Grade55 pressure vessel steel is a low-alloy high-strength steel that implements ASTM standards. A516 Grade55 pressure vessel steel has good notch toughness, weldability, fatigue resistance, brittle fracture resistance, paintability and corrosion resistance, weldability and processability.

ASTM A516 Gr55 Boiler and pressure vessel steel has excellent mechanical properties and fatigue resistance, and can maintain high strength and stability at high temperatures. A516 Grade55 has higher yield strength and better low temperature toughness compared to other types of pressure vessel steel. Can work in environments above minus 40°C. This means that under the same working conditions, using A516 Grade55 can reduce the size and weight of the equipment and improve the efficiency and safety of the equipment. The mechanical performance indicators of A516 Grade55 may vary slightly due to different manufacturing processes and heat treatment conditions. Generally speaking, the yield strength of A516 Grade55 is above 200 ksi (1380 kPa), the tensile strength is above 250 ksi (1724 kPa), and the elongation is above 18%. The material is also very weldable and workable, making it a very popular pressure vessel steel.

A516 Grade55 boiler steel is a very excellent pressure vessel steel with a wide range of applications and excellent performance characteristics. In the petroleum industry, it is used to make various equipment and components, such as reactors, heat exchangers, separators, etc. In the chemical industry, it is used to produce spherical tanks, gas tanks, liquefied gas tanks, etc. In the field of power plants, it is used to manufacture nuclear reactor pressure shells, boiler drums, etc. In the boiler industry, it is used to make liquefied petroleum gas bottles, high-pressure water pipes in hydropower stations, water turbine casings, etc.
