Principal Design Features
|
|
A 285 covers pressure vessel plate of low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Used for non-critical pressure vessel applications of low to intermediate strength requirements.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
Machinability is good much the same as for AISI 1020 or 1030 low carbon steel.
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
Forming may be done by conventional methods without difficulty.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
The alloy involved may be welded by conventional methods. The plate products covered by this specification are intended to be fusion welded.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
Plates ordered to this specification are normally in the as-rolled condition. They may be ordered from the supplier as normalized or stress relieved if so desired. The alloy is not heat treated for hardening.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
The product form is plate and it is not subject to forging.
|
|
|
Hot Working
|
|
No data. The alloy specified could be hot worked if necessary. Consult the alloy supplier.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
Readily cold worked by conventional methods.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Annealing, if required due to cold forming, can be done at 1600 F followed by slow cooling.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
Not applicable.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Hardens due to cold working. This specification does not cover heat treat and quenched steel for hardening.
|
|
|
Other Comments
|
|
The steel covered by this specification is a nominal 60 ksi tensile strength plate product. it is similar to plain carbon 1030 steel in physical and mechanical properties.
