Welcome to Ahmer Steel, your trusted partner in Manama, Bahrain, for industrial steel solutions. We specialize in providing high-integrity SA 516 GR.70N NACE HIC plates, a product born from a deep understanding of the challenges in harsh processing environments. Our commitment is to deliver not just materials, but reliability and peace of mind, ensuring your critical projects are built on a foundation of proven quality and local expertise right here in the heart of the Gulf.
The SA 516 GR.70N NACE HIC grade is specifically engineered to resist hydrogen-induced cracking. Its controlled chemistry limits impurities like sulfur and phosphorus, while adding calcium treatment for enhanced cleanliness. This results in excellent mechanical strength, with a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi, combined with reliable notch toughness. Essentially, these plates are built to maintain their structural integrity even when exposed to wet hydrogen sulfide service, preventing the embrittlement that can affect standard carbon steels.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.70N 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. |
