A285 Steel
A285 Steel
ASTM A285 is a standard for low to moderate-tensile-strength carbon steel plates designed for pressure vessel construction. These plates are mainly used in applications requiring moderate strength and good weldability. The steel is supplied in the as-rolled condition and is suitable for manufacturing boilers, oil tanks, heat exchangers, and other pressure vessels. Available in three grades – A, B, and C – with Grade C being the most popular, ASTM A285 provides a cost-effective solution for industries that need moderate strength in pressure vessels.
Zhaojian Steel provides high-quality ASTM A285 Pressure Vessel Steel Plates in various thicknesses and sizes. These plates are easy to weld, making them a preferred choice for many industrial uses. Their good weldability and moderate tensile strength make them suitable for projects that do not require the higher strength of other grades.
