Just to add to that - pressure vessel steels are so classed largely because of their fracture toughness, and not necessarily their strength. Heat treatment condition will play a role, but you probably want the low temperature rated steel if you're deviating from the approved alloys.<br><br>For reference:<br><br>Pressure Boundary Material Specifications <br><br>Plates (2010) <br><br>Plate materials of pressure boundaries, including attachments, are to comply with one of the following.<br><br>Steel (2008): <br>ABS Hull Grades E, EH32, EH36; <br>U.S. Navy Grades HY-80 and HY-100 per MILS-16216; <br>ASTM A516 Grades 55, 60, 65, 70; <br>ASTM A537 Class 1 and 2; <br>ASTM A517 Grades, A, B, E, F, J <br><br>Aluminum: <br>ASTM B 209 alloy 6061-T6; <br>ASTM B 928 alloys 5083, 5086, 5383, 5456 (see Section 5 of these Rules) <br><br>Titanium Alloys: <br>ASTM B265 Grade 5 <br><br>Stainless Steel: <br>ASTM A240 Type 304 or 316 <br><br>Acrylic Plastics (cast polymethyl methacrylate): ASME PVHO-1 and Section 7 of these Rules <br><br>Bolts, Extrusions, Forgings, and Shapes <br><br>Materials of bolts, extrusions, forgings, and shapes are to comply with a recognized standard at least of similar quality to the plate materials specified in 4/3.1 (e.g. MIL-S-23009 for HY-80 forgings, ASTM A350 LF2 or LF3 for forgings comparable to ASTM A516). <br><br>Materials Complying with Other Standards <br><br>Consideration will be given to the use of material complying with other recognized standards suitable for the service intended.
