What is A517 Grade B material? What are its main applications?
Material Type:
A517 Grade B is a quenched and tempered high-strength low-alloy steel (compliant with ASTM A517 standard).
Typical Applications:
– High-pressure vessels (e.g., hydraulic cylinders, gas storage tanks)
– Wind turbine towers
– Critical load-bearing components in engineering machinery
What is difference for ASTM A517 grade e steel materials and ASTM A517 grade B ?
| Property | A517 Grade E | A517 Grade B |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM A517 (High-Strength Quenched & Tempered Alloy Steel) | |
| Primary Application | Heavy-duty structural components (e.g., crane booms, mining equipment) | Pressure vessels, wind turbine towers |
| Tensile Strength | ≥760 MPa (110 ksi) | ≥860 MPa (125 ksi) |
| Yield Strength | ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) | ≥760 MPa (110 ksi) |
| Key Composition | – Lower carbon (C ≤0.22%) – Higher chromium (Cr 0.40-0.80%) – Nickel (Ni 0.70-1.20%) |
– Higher carbon (C ≤0.23%) – Molybdenum (Mo 0.45-0.65%) – Boron (B 0.001-0.003%) |
| Impact Toughness | Excellent low-temperature toughness (Charpy V-notch @ -40°C) | Moderate toughness (typically tested at room temp) |
| Weldability | Requires preheat (~150°C) and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) | Similar requirements but more sensitive to cracking due to boron content |
| Corrosion Resistance | Better (due to Ni/Cr content) | Standard (relies on coatings for harsh environments) |
| Cost | Higher (alloy-intensive) | More economical |
