Other Information
Comparison with Other Grades:
The key grades of ASTM A516 (55/60/65/70) are primarily distinguished by their tensile strength:
| Grade | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Key Use Case |
| A516 Grade 55 | 380-515 | 205 | Low-pressure applications |
| A516 Grade 60 | 415-550 | 220 | Intermediate pressure |
| A516 Grade 65 | 450-585 | 240 | Higher pressure |
| A516 Grade 70 | 485-620 | 260 | High-pressure & low-temp |
Comparable Standards:
ASME SA516 (equivalent to ASTM A516 for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code)
EN 10028-2 P295GH (European equivalent)
Welding & Fabrication:
Weldability: Good (preheat may be required for thick sections)
Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT): Often recommended for stress relief
Advantages:
✔ Good strength and toughness at moderate temperatures
✔ Excellent weldability and formability
✔ Cost-effective for pressure vessel construction
Limitations:
❌ Not suitable for high-temperature applications (above 400°C/750°F)
❌ Requires impact testing for low-temperature service
