Chemical Composition:
The chemical composition of A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates is carefully formulated to ensure optimal performance. The key elements include carbon (C) ranging from 0.20% to 0.28%, silicon (Si) between 0.15% and 0.40%, manganese (Mn) from 0.85% to 1.20%, and both phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) content not exceeding 0.035%. Additionally, alloy elements such as chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) are added in moderate amounts to enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the steel.
Mechanical Properties:
The A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates exhibit impressive mechanical properties. They possess a minimum yield strength of 485 MPa and an ultimate tensile strength ranging from 485 MPa to 620 MPa. These plates also demonstrate excellent plasticity, toughness, cold bending, and welding capabilities. Their high strength and toughness enable them to withstand significant pressures and impacts.
Heat Treatment State:
The A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates are typically delivered in a hot-rolled state. However, they can also be subjected to additional heat treatment processes such as normalizing or quenching and tempering, depending on specific customer requirements. These heat treatment procedures further enhance the mechanical properties and stability of the steel.
Size Range:
The A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates are available in a wide range of sizes to cater to various applications. Common thicknesses range from 8 mm to 300 mm, with widths varying from 1000 mm to 4000 mm and lengths extending from 3000 mm to 18000 mm. Customized sizes can also be manufactured upon request.
Impact Testing:
To ensure the exceptional toughness of the A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates, they undergo stringent impact testing. These tests are performed at low temperatures to assess the material's ability to withstand impact loads without fracturing. The results of these tests ensure the reliability and safety of the steel plates in critical applications.
Primary Applications:
The A516 Grade 485/A516Gr.485/A516Gr450 steel plates find extensive applications in the manufacturing of pressure vessels and boilers. These include storage tanks, reactors, heat exchangers, and other equipment used in the oil, chemical, power, and food industries. Their high strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance make them suitable for handling harsh operating conditions and aggressive chemicals.
