Thabiso Steel stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, specializing in high-quality SA 516 Gr. 60N NACE and HIC Plates. These plates are expertly crafted for use in pressure vessels, boilers, and storage tanks that operate in sour environments with hydrogen sulfide, where it’s crucial to have resistance against hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress corrosion. Adhering strictly to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards, Thabiso Steel guarantees outstanding mechanical performance, toughness, and durability, making these plates a dependable choice for demanding industrial applications.
The SA 516 Gr. 60N NACE and HIC Plates are primarily made from carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, with precise microalloying to boost toughness and HIC resistance. The “N” signifies that these plates undergo normalized heat treatment, which refines their grain structure and ensures consistent mechanical properties. They showcase impressive tensile and yield strength, excellent elongation, and remarkable impact toughness, even in low temperatures. Their unique microstructure and chemical makeup provide strong resistance to brittle fracture and hydrogen-induced cracking in sour service conditions.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60N 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. |
| Process of Manufacturing | Hot-Rolled (HR) |
