ASTM A516 steel plate is also offered in the normalized condition where improved notch toughness is required. The ASTM A516 steel plate shall be killed and shall conform to fine austenitic grain size requirements. The ASTM A516 steel plate shall be killed and shall conform to fine austenitic grain size requirements. The maximum thickness of ASTM A516 steel plate is limited only by the capacity of its composition to meet the specified A516 steel mechanical property requirements.
