ASTM A516 Grade 70 Steel Plate As Rolled

ASTM A516 Grade 70 Steel Plate
ASTM A516 Gr 70 Rolled Plate is a medium carbon alloy that contains manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. These added alloying elements provide increased strength and versatility in highly demanding applications such as pressure vessels requiring moderate to lower temperatures where notch toughness is essential.

Supplementary testing such as Charpy Impacts, Ultrasonic Examination and Carbon Equivalency are available. All plates over 1-1/2" Thick are required to be normalized. For more information see ASTM A516-70 Normalized
