ASTM A515 is a specification for carbon-silicon steel plates primarily used in intermediate- and high-temperature service in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. The steel grade is divided into three levels based on their tensile strength: A515 grade 60, A515 grade 65, and A515 grade 70.
One of the key characteristics of ASTM A515 steel is its toughness, which refers to its ability to resist brittle fracture or failure under high-stress conditions. This attribute is particularly important for materials used in pressure vessels where sudden failures could lead to catastrophic consequences.
In addition to its toughness, ASTM A515 steel is also highly weldable. Its low carbon content and good welding properties make it easy to weld without causing significant degradation to the material's mechanical properties.
The combination of these attributes makes ASTM A515 steel an excellent choice for use in pressure vessel fabrication. It provides both the required strength and durability while maintaining the ability to be easily welded without compromising its overall integrity and performance.
