ASTM A516 Grade 60 differs from other carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Unprotected ASTM A516 Gr. 60 Carbon Steel Plates rusts readily when exposed to air and moisture.
ASTM A516 Grade 60 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy with titanium, copper, and molybdenum. ASTM A516 Gr. 60 Carbon Steel Slatting Coils has good mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures to moderately high temperatures up to 538 Degree C. ASME SA 516 Gr. 60 Carbon Steel Perforated Coils, in conjunction with the molybdenum and copper, also gives outstanding resistance to reducing environments such as those containing sulphuric and phosphoric acids.
The chemical composition of ASTM A516 Grade 60 Slatting Coils is designed to provide exceptional resistance to a lot of corrosive environments. The levels of molybdenum and copper enable ASTM A516 Grade 60 Steel Perforated Coils to resist reducing agents and acids.
Chromium in ASTM A516 Grade 60 steel gives resistance to oxidising conditions, such as nitric acid solutions, nitrates and oxidising salts. ASME SA 516 Gr. 60 CS Coils are highly sought after due to their ability to resist both oxidization and carbonization in high – temperature settings.
