ASTM A537 carbon steel plates offer improved tensile and yield strength in comparison with pressure vessel plates provided under the ASTM A516 standard.
We have a ready stock of ASTM A537 Class 1 plates and can also arrange direct delivery from the mill. Additionally, we provide an in-house service of profiling, enabling the material to be cut to the desired size or shape.
The chemical composition of ASTM A537 typically includes carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. The focus is on specific ranges to achieve the desired mechanical properties.
The yield strength of class 1 plates is a minimum of 265 MPa (38,000 psi), increasing for higher classes. Tensile strength ranges from 450 MPa (65,000 psi) to 620 MPa (90,000 psi) depending on the class of the plate. The minimum elongation is around 21% in 200 mm, indicating good ductility.
The following composition properties are ASTM specifications for A537.
