Differences of A515 Grade 60 steel and A516 Grade 60

 A515 Grade 60 steel is primarily for intermediate- and higher-temperature service in welded boilers and other pressure vessels. A516 Grade 60 carbon steel plate grade is mainly utilized primarily in welded pressure vessels for moderate to lower temperature service.
