Product Description:
The ASTM A537 carbon steel plates are known for their exceptional strength properties that surpass the yield and tensile strength of pressure vessel plates that come under the ASTM A516 standard.
At our company, we offer ASTM A537 Class 1 plates that can be directly sourced from our stock or obtained directly from the mill. As part of our value-added services, we also have an in-house profiling service that allows the material to be cut and shaped to your specific needs.
With our extensive range of ASTM A537 plates and value-added services, we're confident that we can meet your requirements for high-strength carbon steel plates.
Features:
The ASTM A537 steel specification includes requirements for its chemical composition. The steel typically contains several elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The steelmakers focus on keeping these elements within specific ranges, which in turn influence the mechanical properties of the steel.
When it comes to the mechanical properties of the ASTM A537 steel plate, yield strength is an important factor. For Class 1 plates, the minimum yield strength is 265 MPa or 38,000 psi. This minimum yield strength increases for higher classes of steel plates.
Another key mechanical property of the ASTM A537 steel plate is its tensile strength. This can range from 450 MPa (65,000 psi) to 620 MPa (90,000 psi), depending on the class of plate. The tensile strength measures the maximum stress a material can withstand under tension before breaking or failing.
Finally, the elongation of the ASTM A537 steel plate is a measure of how much the steel can stretch before breaking. The minimum elongation of this steel is around 21% in 200 mm of length, which is considered good ductility. Ductility refers to a material's ability to deform under stress without breaking.
