Thabiso Steel is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch steel solutions located in Cape Town, South Africa. Known for its reliability, precision, and adherence to international standards, Thabiso Steel provides high-quality steel products that cater to the needs of South Africa’s expanding industrial, petrochemical, and construction sectors. One of their standout products is the SA 516 GR.60/70N NACE Plate, which is specifically designed for durability and resistance to corrosion in tough service conditions. With a team of technical experts and a commitment to responsive service, Thabiso Steel guarantees that each plate meets stringent quality and NACE compliance standards, making them a go-to partner for critical applications.
The SA 516 GR.60/70N NACE Plates are carbon steel plates crafted to meet ASTM A516 standards and are normalized (N) to enhance toughness. They are engineered for moderate to low-temperature service and include elements like carbon (0.18–0.28%), manganese (0.85–1.20%), phosphorus (≤0.025%), and sulfur (≤0.015%) to ensure NACE compliance. These plates boast impressive tensile strength (60–90 ksi for GR.70), good notch toughness, and excellent weldability. They undergo rigorous testing for resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC), ensuring dependable performance in sour service environments as outlined by NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60/70N Boiler 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. |
