class=Normal>ASTM A 516 or ASME SA 516 grade is one of the most popular steel
grades in market . <BR><BR>It is primarily intended for use in welded pressure
vessels where notch toughness is important. It comes in four grades 55, 60, 65
& 70. At Oakley Steel we mainly sell 516 gr 60 and 516 gr 70. These grades
cover a range of tensile strengths from 55 - 90 MPa and this versatility
explains much of the specifications popularity. <BR><BR>For plates thinner than
40mm we normally supply them as rolled. Plates supplied above 40mm thick are
normalised. <BR><BR>For A 516 grade 70, which is one of our most popular steels,
the ASME standard composition is as follows (dependent on grade): <BR><BR>Carbon
0.27 - 0.31% <BR>Manganese 0.79 - 1.3% <BR>Phosphorous 0.035% max <BR>Sulphur
0.035% max <BR>Silicon 0.13 - 0.45% </SPAN></DIV>
