Engineering Tough Choices: ASTM A516 GR 70, JIS G4305 SUS304/316, and C276 Alloys for Demanding Service
Designing safe, reliable equipment for energy, chemical processing, and high-temperature services requires a precise match between material properties and the operating environment. Pressure vessels in hydrogen-rich refining units, heat exchangers battling chlorides, or stacks facing aggressive flue gases each place unique demands on metals. Comparing carbon steel plate such as ASTM A516 GR 70, austenitic…
