Travis Steel stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Canberra, Australia, with a focus on delivering high-quality steel products, including the SA 516 GR.60/70N NACE HIC Plates. These plates are well-known for their durability and adherence to strict industry standards, specifically designed for sour service applications where it’s crucial to resist hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC). Travis Steel guarantees that every plate complies with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards, providing outstanding strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a strong commitment to excellence, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, and prompt delivery, Travis Steel has become the go-to source for premium-grade steel plates throughout Australia and beyond.
The SA 516 GR.60/70N NACE HIC Plates are carbon steel plates that boast excellent notch toughness, making them perfect for pressure vessels that operate in moderate to low temperatures. Their chemical makeup typically includes carbon (≤0.30%), manganese (0.79–1.30%), phosphorus (≤0.035%), and sulfur (≤0.035%). These plates showcase impressive mechanical properties: GR.60 has a minimum tensile strength of 415–550 MPa, while GR.70 offers 485–620 MPa, with minimum yield strengths of 260 MPa and 275 MPa, respectively. The “N” signifies that the plates are in a normalized condition, which enhances both strength and ductility, while NACE HIC compliance ensures they can withstand sour gas environments.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60/70N Boiler and Pressure Vessel Steel Plates |
|---|---|
| Width | 1000mm-4500mm |
| Thickness | 5mm-150mm |
| Length | 3000mm-18000mm |
| Supply Condition | As Rolled, Normalized Rolling, Furnace Normalizing, Vacuum Degassing, Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment or as per customer requirement. |
| Impact tested | 52° C |
| Tempering | Notch toughness can be improved by quenched cooling from hot rolling or normalizing by the supplier. If such a faster cooling rate is agreed upon between purchaser and supplier then the steel is also to be tempered at 1200 F. |
| Applications | Used for weld fabrication of pressure vessels that require improved notch toughness for lower than ambient temperature service. |
