What is ASTM A515?
ASTM A515 Plate Steel
Carbon-silicon steel plates primarily for intermediate- and higher-temperature service in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. Plates are available in three grades having different strength levels: Grades 60, 65, 70, 415, 450, and 485.
ASTM A515 vs A516 Steel Plate
A515 is primarily used for the manufacture of intermediate-temperature pressure vessels, while A516 is used for the manufacture of low to intermediate-temperature pressure vessels.
What is ASTM A516 grade 70 S5?
This metal plate grade is a medium carbon alloy that additionally incorporates quantities of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. A516 is primarily used for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is required. It is often present in moderate and lower temperature purposes.
