ASTM A516 GR.60 NACE + HIC Steel Plates – Sulphur-Resistant Pressure Vessel Steel
Conquest Steel & Alloys is a well-known and reliable supplier of ASTM A 516 GR.60 NACE + HIC Steel Plates, which are manufactured for use in sour service and high-risk environments of hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC). These plates are in accordance with rigorous NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 specifications and can be used for pressure vessels and equipment in the petrochemical, oil, and gas industries.
ASTM A 516 GR.60 NACE + HIC plates are rolled from low-sulphur clean steel, providing outstanding resistance to stepwise cracking and hydrogen embrittlement. They are normalized for added stress resistance and toughness and are used in wet H₂S conditions.
ASTM A516 GR.60 NACE + HIC plates are advantageous in that they:
- Meet NACE MR0103 and MR0175 standards
- Undergo HIC and SSC resistance testing
- Have low sulfur levels and high notch hardness
- Are suitable for sour gas and offshore use
- Are supplied with IBR, MTC, and third-party inspection
Whether used for upstream, midstream, or downstream activities, Conquest Steel & Alloys provides consistent material supply ensuring customer-specific requirements of HIC test are fulfilled.
