A515 Grade 65 is a carbon‑silicon pressure vessel steel plate designed for intermediate‑temperature service in boilers, drums, and welded pressure vessels. The grade provides higher strength than Grade 60, stable fabrication performance, and consistent behavior across different thickness ranges. It is widely used in petrochemical, power generation, and industrial pressure systems requiring dependable plate quality.

Chemical Composition (ASTM A515/A515M)

• Carbon: 0.22–0.28%

• Manganese: 0.60–0.90%

• Silicon: 0.15–0.40%

• Phosphorus: ≤ 0.035%

• Sulfur: ≤ 0.035%

The carbon‑silicon alloy system provides balanced strength and weldability for pressure vessel fabrication.

Mechanical Properties

• Tensile Strength: 450–585 MPa

• Yield Strength: ≥ 260 MPa

• Elongation:

  • ≥ 18% (200 mm gauge length)

  • ≥ 22% (50 mm gauge length)

These values support safe operation in intermediate‑temperature pressure systems.
