ASTM A516-70 is a medium carbon alloy that is primarily used for service in welded pressure vessels where improved notch toughness is required. An industry standard for pressure vessel grade steel, A516-70 is used for moderate to lower temperature applications. Our inventory is longitudinal Charpy V-Notch tested to Category 4 (-50°F), bringing together the benefit of superior strength, weldability and toughness. ASME SA516-70 is also available upon request. Though pressure vessel plates and structural plates are comparable in multiple ways, including mechanical and chemical composition, the processing and manufacturing techniques used to make pressure vessel plates are some of the most innovative in the steel industry. Mill test reports (MTRs) are available upon request with any order.
