TJC Steel Group is proud to introduce its comprehensive range of A515 Grade 60 pressure vessel and boiler steel plates. This material, also known as A515Gr.60 or A515Gr60, is a medium-strength carbon steel plate designed specifically for use in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

Chemical Composition

The chemical composition of A515 Grade 60 steel is carefully balanced to ensure optimal mechanical properties. Key elements include carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S). Carbon plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical properties of the steel, while silicon and manganese are added to enhance strength and hardness. Phosphorus and sulfur are controlled to minimize their potential for harmful effects on plasticity and toughness. Additionally, small amounts of alloy elements such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), vanadium (V), and titanium (Ti) may be present to further enhance specific properties.

Mechanical Properties

After heat treatment, A515 Grade 60 steel plate exhibits excellent mechanical properties. It possesses high tensile strength, good yield strength, and excellent ductility, allowing it to withstand the rigorous demands of pressure vessel and boiler applications. The precise mechanical properties of the material, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, are specified in the ASME and ASTM standards to which it adheres.

Heat Treatment

A515 Grade 60 steel plates are typically supplied in a normalized or stress-relieved condition, depending on the thickness of the plate. For plates with a thickness of 50mm or less, they are commonly supplied in the as-rolled condition or with normalized heat treatment. For thicker plates, normalizing heat treatment is typically performed to ensure uniform properties throughout the thickness.

Size Range

TJC Steel Group offers A515 Grade 60 steel plates in a wide range of thicknesses, widths, and lengths to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Standard thicknesses range from 1.2mm to 25mm, with widths available from 1000mm to 2000mm and lengths up to 6000mm. Custom sizes are also available upon request.

Impact Testing

To ensure the material's suitability for low-temperature applications, A515 Grade 60 steel plates are subjected to impact testing at specified temperatures. This testing verifies the material's ability to maintain its mechanical properties at low temperatures, ensuring safe and reliable performance in critical applications.

Applications

A515 Grade 60 steel plates are widely used in the petroleum, chemical, power generation, and boiler industries. They are commonly used to fabricate pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, reactors, separators, and other critical equipment. The material's excellent mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and good weldability make it a popular choice for these demanding applications.
