Difference SA662 Grade B and C steel plate

Dec 09, 2025 Leave a message

SA662 Grade B and C are ASME-spec carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates for moderate to low-temperature pressure vessels, differing mainly in strength levels (Grade C is stronger) and processing; Grade C often requires normalization for refined microstructure, while Grade B offers good weldability for fabrication, both serving similar applications like boilers and tanks.

Think of them as different strength levels for the same type of job (pressure vessels). Grade B is a good all-rounder, while Grade C offers higher strength and toughness for more demanding applications, achieved through stricter processing like normalization.
