Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

(OP)
hello everybody

is it possible to cast SA 516 Gr. 70?

RE: Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

No, not in the sense of being equivalent to this steel because SA 516 Grade 70 is a plate material specification. You can obtain carbon and low alloy steel castings that have a similar ultimate tensile strength and yield strength properties, but beyond this there is no direct cast grade.

RE: Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

Agree with metengr. Are you considering the mechanical properties or chemistry. Also, the plate material will not be isotropic, while the casting is in a practical sense.

RE: Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

By definition, it cannot be a cast material. Continuous cast slabs can be used, but they must be hot rolled to provide the final wrought plate materials.

RE: Casting of SA 516 Gr. 70

ASTM/ASME standards for materials are specific to product form and hence manufacturing route.
