What is carbon steel plate?

Carbon steel plates are made from an alloy comprised of iron and carbon. Carbon Steel Plate is one of the most commonly used steels in the United States. Alloy steels can contain a variety of elements including chromium, nickel, and vanadium.

Cold rolled steel sheet Low Carbon Steel plate-St12 Steel Plate

This product list describes a portfolio of hot-rolled steel plates designed for three primary extreme service environments: hydrogen resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance (weathering), and low-temperature containment. These are specialized steels used in critical applications across the petrochemical, architectural, and energy sectors.

Detailed Breakdown by Category

1. Hydrogen Resistant Steels (For Sour Service)

These plates are engineered to resist failure in environments containing wet hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a common condition in oil and gas refining known as “sour service.”

• ASTM SA516 Gr70 (HIC):

  • Standard: ASTM A516

  • Description: This is a carbon steel plate for pressure vessels. The “(HIC)” suffix is crucial, indicating it has been manufactured with special melting practices and testing to be Resistant to Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC) and Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC). HIC occurs when atomic hydrogen diffuses into the steel and forms internal blisters or cracks.

  • Application: Pressure vessels, reactors, and separators in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities where “sour” (H₂S-containing) hydrocarbons are present.

• Hydrogen Resistant Plate:

  • This is a general term for plates meeting the requirements of standards like NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, which govern materials for sour service. SA516 Gr70 (HIC) is a prime example.

• ABS Hot Rolled:

  • Standard: American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)

  • Description: This indicates the steel plate is certified by the ABS classification society for use in shipbuilding. For hydrogen service, this would likely be an ABS-grade steel (e.g., ABS Grade A through F) specified with additional HIC testing requirements.

  • Application: Ship hulls, offshore structures, and marine cargo tanks that may carry sour crude oil or other corrosive cargos.

2. Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steels (Weathering Steel)

These steels, commonly known as “weathering steel,” form a dense, stable oxide layer (patina) upon exposure to the atmosphere. This adhesive layer protects the underlying metal, eliminating the need for painting in many applications.

• S355J0WP & S355J2W:

  • Standard: EN 10025-5 (European Standard)

  • Description: These are structural steels with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance.

    • S355 indicates a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa.

    • J0 and J2 indicate impact toughness tested at 0°C and -20°C, respectively.

    • W stands for “Weathering.”

    • P stands for “Plate.”

  • Application: Architectural building facades, bridges, un-painted structural components, and artistic sculptures.

• Corten A & Corten B:

  • Standard: ASTM A242 (Corten A) / ASTM A588 (Corten B)

  • Description: These are the classic, proprietary U.S. grades for high-strength low-alloy weathering steel. “Corten” is a well-known trademark.

    • Corten A is typically used for sheet and architectural applications.

    • Corten B is a tougher grade more commonly supplied as plate for structural applications like bridges.

  • Application: Similar to the S355JxW grades, used extensively in exposed architecture, bridge construction, and outdoor sculpture.

3. Low Temperature Container Plate

This steel is designed to maintain high toughness and resist brittle fracture at very low (cryogenic) temperatures.

• ASTM A/SA 09MnNiDR:

  • Standard: ASTM A/SA 841 (a standard specification for steel plates for pressure vessels)

  • Description: This is a fine-grain, normalized (or normalized-rolled) carbon-manganese-nickel steel plate. The “DR” stands for “Low Temperature”.

    • The “09” indicates a low carbon content (~0.09% max).

    • The “MnNi” indicates alloying with Manganese and Nickel, which greatly enhances low-temperature toughness.

    • It is typically used for service temperatures down to -70°C (-94°F).

  • Application: Pressure vessels for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases (LPG, LNG, ammonia, etc.), cryogenic storage tanks, and other equipment operating at low temperatures.

Summary Table of Applications

In essence, this product list represents a specialized supplier capable of providing steel plates for some of the most challenging engineering environments, from the corrosive depths of oil refineries to the artistic and architectural expression of modern buildings and the frigid conditions of cryogenic storage.

 

Carbon steel is an alloy with carbon and iron, with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The increase in the carbon percentage will raise steel’s hardness and strength, but it will be less ductile. Carbon steel has good properties in hardness and strength, and it is less expensive than other steels.

Product Specification and Steel Grade (For Reference)

Carbon cold rolled steel coils and strips are produced with a highly adaptable manufacturing process, which are extensively used in automobile, washing machines, refrigerators, electrical appliances and steel office equipment. By varying the percentage in carbon steel, it is possible to produce steel with a variety of different qualities. In general, higher carbon content in steel makes steel harder, brittler and less ductile.
