| Elongation in 2″ (min) | 20% |
| Elongation in 8″ (min) | 17% |
Chemical Composition:
| Element | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤0.18% |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤0.60% |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤1.65% |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤0.025% |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤0.035% |
| Nitrogen (N) | ≤0.02% |
| Vanadium (V) | ≤0.08% |
ASTM A656 Grade 60 is widely used in various applications, including:
ASTM A656 Grade 60 is typically produced through controlled rolling or thermo-mechanical controlled processing, which enhances its mechanical properties.Available Dimensions:
| Thickness Range (inches/mm) | Width Range (inches/mm) | Length Range (inches/mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1875 – 1.50 / 4.78 – 38.1 | 72 – 120 / 1800 – 3050 | Up to 240 / Up to 6100 |
ASTM A656 Grade 60 can be welded using standard welding techniques, including:
When compared to other grades within the ASTM A656 specification, such as Grades 50, 70, and 80, Grade 60 has higher yield and tensile strengths than Grade 50 but lower than Grades 70 and 80.
| Grade | Yield Strength (ksi) | Tensile Strength (ksi) |
|---|---|---|
| A656 Grade 50 | ≥50 | ≥60 |
| A656 Grade 60 | ≥60 | ≥70 |
| A656 Grade 70 | ≥70 | ≥80 |
| A656 Grade 80 | ≥80 | ≥90 |
While ASTM A656 Grade 60 may have a higher initial cost compared to standard structural steels, its high strength-to-weight ratio allows for thinner sections, leading to potential savings in material costs, transportation, and installation.
