SA516Gr70N heat treatment

SA516Gr70N plate is widely used in petroleum, chemical, power station, boiler, and other industries used to make reactors, heat exchangers, separators, spherical tanks, gas tanks, liquefied gas tanks, nuclear reactor pressure shells, boiler drums, liquefied petroleum equipment and components such as gas cylinders, high-pressure water pipes of hydropower stations, and turbine volutes.

SA516Gr70N meets the requirements of (ASME) ASTMA516/A516M standards, and fully meets the needs of oil gas with a high content of sulfur and hydrogen, reduces sulfur and hydrogen corrosion, reduces equipment maintenance, and increases equipment service life.

SA516Gr70N heat treatment

1. SA516Gr70N plate thickness ≤1.5in, (40mm) steel plate is usually supplied in rolled state, steel plate can also be ordered by normalizing or stress relief, or normalizing plus stress relief.
2. Thickness>1.5in.(40mm) steel plate should be normalized.
3. Unless otherwise specified by the buyer, the thickness ≤ 1.5in, (40mm) steel plate, when notch toughness is required, normalizing should be carried out.
4. If approved by the buyer, it is allowed to use a cooling rate greater than that in the air to improve toughness, but the steel plate only needs to be in the range of 1100-1300°F (595-705°C) subsequently.

The SA516Gr70N steel plate has the following characteristics: good impact resistance, low-temperature deformation, good welding performance, good fatigue resistance, good anti-layer cracking performance, microalloying, high purity, low carbon equivalent, strong resistance to sulfur and hydrogen. The products have good dimensional tolerances and surface quality.
