Normalizing for SA-516 gr 70?
Normalizing for SA-516 gr 70?
(OP)
Would you say that SA-516 gr 70 is generally provided normalized in thicknesses under 1.50", even though normalizing is required by the specification only for thicknesses above 1.50"? Any experiences?





RE: Normalizing for SA-516 gr 70?
it is NOT provided in normalized condition under 1.5" unless you ask for it.
we buy it both ways and order it as rolled or normalized so our plate guys know what we want.
we don't buy it normalized unless need it for charpy exemption or service requirement.

Generally, no. This heat treatment must be requested for plate under 1.50" thickness on the PO.

In the case of fabricators using it anyway- that would just depend on the situation. But you'd need to ask the fabricator, not us.
