ASTM A516 gr 60 VS A36 steel properties
ASTM A516 gr 60 steel is PVQ carbon steel supposed primarily for service in welded pressure vessels at reasonable or lower temperatures. ASTM A36 steel is mild steel, also known as low carbon steel primarily for structural application. ASTM A516 gr 60 steel and A36 steel also has a lot difference in chemical composition and mechanical property. Below is about ASTM A516 gr 60 VS A36 steel properties.
ASTM A516 gr 60 VS A36 steel chemical properties:
ASTM A516 gr 60 steel chemical composition:
| Grade | Max. C % for thickness t (mm) | Mn % for thickness t (mm) | Si % | P % max | S % max | ||||
| 6-12.5mm | 12.5-25mm | 25-50mm | >50mm | ≤12.5mm | >12.5mm | ||||
| A516 gr 60 | 0.21 | 0.23 | 0.23 | 0.25 | 0.6-0.9 | 0.80-1.20 | 0.13-0.45 | 0.035 | 0.035 |
ASTM A36 steel chemical composition:
| Grade | C (t≤16mm) | Si | Mn | P | S | Cu | N |
| A36 | 0.26 max | 0.40 max | - | 0.040 max | 0.050 max | 0.20 min | - |
ASTM A516 gr 60 VS A36 steel mechanical properties:
ASTM A516 gr 60 steel mechanical property:
| Grade | Tensile strength | Minimum yield strength | Minimum elongation (%) gauge length | |
| (MPa) | (MPa) | 50mm | 200mm | |
| A516 gr 60 | 415 - 550 | 220 | 25 | 21 |
ASTM A36 steel mechanical property:
| Grade | Yield strength ReH/(N/mm2) |
Tensile strength Rm/(N/mm2) |
Elongation A/% |
| A36 | 250 | 400-550 | 20 |
ASTM A516 gr 60 VS A36 steel, ASTM A516 gr 60 steel and A36 steel actually belong to totally different metal types. A516 gr 60 steel is pressure vessel steel, while A36 steel is mild steel, and usually not used to fabricate pressure vessels.
