Heat treatment
ASTM A516 plate up to and including 40mm in thickness is normally supplied as rolled but may be
ordered normalised. Plate thicker than 40mm as well as plate on which notch toughness tests are
required must be normalised.
If plate to ASTM A516 is required with improved notch toughness, it may be quenched and tempered,
provided it is tempered between 590C and 700C.

Note:
1. When a more stringent impact energy specification is required, Table 1 of ASTM A20 provides for the
addition of 0,05% maximum niobium or the utilisation of accelerated cooling followed by tempering.
Ultrasonic testing
It is Mittal Steel South Africas practice to ultrasonically test all plates thicker than 20mm to BS 5991 B1 as
an integral part of the quality assurance system. Plate of any thickness up to 63mm will be tested up to
B4 if specified on the order. Testing to ASTM A435 or ASTM A578 can be done on enquiry.
Tolerances
All plate is supplied with dimensional tolerances in accordance with ASTM A20.
Surface inspection
All plate is inspected and defects are repaired in accordance with ASTM A20.
Available dimensions
The available dimensions of plate supplied both in the as rolled and normalised conditions are shown on
the data sheet: Plate Mill Product Dimensions (file reference A1.3).
Certification
All plate is supplied with test and analysis certificates.
Supply conditions
ASTM A516 plate is supplied in terms of Price Lists 110 and 120 and Mittal Steel South Africa's General
conditions of Sale.
