Product Description ASTM A738 Grade B Heat-treated Carbon-Manganese-Silicon Steel Plate For lower temperature serviceASTM A738 Grade B is a high-strength, low-alloy steel plate that is primarily used in the construction of welded pressure vessels and storage tanks. This grade of steel is characterized by its high yield strength and good impact resistance, making it an excellent choice for applications where high strength and toughness are required.The chemical composition of ASTM A738 Grade B includes carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. The material is also available in a variety of thicknesses and widths, making it highly versatile for a wide range of applications.In terms of mechanical properties, ASTM A738 Grade B has a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi (485 MPa). The material also has good impact and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for applications where cyclic loading and impact resistance are important. The high-strength properties of this material make it an excellent choice for use in pressure vessel applications that require high strength and toughness.As a manufacturer, it is important to adhere to the ASTM A738 specification to ensure the production of high-quality and reliable products. This includes ensuring that the material is properly heat-treated and tested to meet the required mechanical and chemical properties. Additionally, it is important to follow proper welding procedures when working with this material to ensure good weldability and to avoid any potential issues with hydrogen-induced cracking.Overall, ASTM A738 Grade B is an excellent material for use in the construction of pressure vessels and storage tanks, and offers a high-strength, high-toughness solution for a variety of industrial applications.General Product DescriptionThe ASTM A738 specification is the Standard Specification for Heat-treated, Carbon-Manganese-Silicon Steel used in welded pressure vessels subjected to moderate and lower temperature service. Grade B is supplied in the quenched & tempered condition.Dimension RangeGRADEPRODUCT TYPETHICKNESS(in)WIDTH(in)LENGTH(in)A738 Grade BMill Plate0.375 - 2.0096 - 120240 - 588Thickness: Inquire for plate thicknesses of less than 0.375 inches down to 0.250 inches, or greater than 2.00 inches up to 3.5 inches.Width: Inquire for widths <96 inches down to 60 inches and for widths >120 inches up to 131.9 inches.
