Operating from the heart of Manama, Bahrain, Ahmer Steel has built a strong reputation as a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of high-integrity steel plates. We specialize in providing SA 516 GR.6070N NACE HIC certified plates, which are engineered for the most demanding environments. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional quality and reliability, empowering key industries with materials that are built to last. We understand that your projects require the utmost trust in your materials, and Ahmer Steel stands as your dependable partner in ensuring that foundation of strength and safety.
The composition of SA 516 GR.6070N NACE HIC plates is precisely controlled to offer superior resistance against hydrogen-induced cracking. These plates are a carbon-manganese steel with carefully managed levels of impurities, ensuring a clean, homogenous internal structure. This meticulous control directly translates to excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and robust impact toughness. They are specifically treated to perform reliably even in low-temperature service, making them a fundamentally sound and durable choice for critical pressure applications.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60/70N 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. |
