Latham Steel, a reliable manufacturer and supplier based in Hamilton, New Zealand, specializes in high-quality SA 516 GR.60N NACE and HIC plates designed for sour-service and high-pressure settings. These plates undergo a normalization process to enhance their toughness, stability, and resistance to brittle failure. Built and tested in line with the rigorous NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards, they provide robust protection against hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking, making them perfect for harsh, H₂S-rich environments. Latham Steel guarantees precise thickness, dependable material integrity, and consistent mechanical performance, supplying industries with trustworthy steel plates for pressure vessels, petrochemical equipment, and refinery components that operate under challenging conditions.
SA 516 GR.60N NACE and HIC plates are crafted with controlled amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus, along with micro-alloying elements that enhance toughness and crack resistance. These plates boast a minimum yield strength of about 220 MPa and tensile strength that ranges from 415 to 550 MPa. The normalization process refines the grain structure, leading to outstanding ductility and impact performance. Comprehensive HIC and SSC testing confirms their suitability for sour-service applications. The material maintains consistent hardness, excellent weldability, and resistance to brittle fracture, ensuring reliable performance in equipment that faces hydrogen damage and corrosive conditions.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 GR.60N 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. |
