ASTM A36, A283C, S235JR, SS400, SS41
ASTM A36 is a low carbon steel. Low carbon steels are classified by having less than 0.3% carbon by weight. This allows A36 steel to be easily machined, welded, and formed, making it extremely useful as a general-purpose steel. The low carbon also prevents heat treatment from having much of an effect on A36 steel. A36 steel usually has small amounts of other alloying elements as well, including manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, and silicon. These alloying elements are added to give A36 steel its desired chemical and mechanical properties. Since A36 does not contain large amounts of nickel or chromium, it does not have excellent corrosion resistance.
ASTM A36 steel plates will have a lot of equivalent materials, such as A283C, FE360B, E24-2, Chinese material Q235B, Japan material SS400 and SM400A, European material EN S235JR, Germany material DIN ST37-2, etc. Those equivalent materials have little difference in chemical composition and mechanical properties, below are some of the grades comparison for your reference:
ASTM A36 steel plate: ASTM A36 is a carbon structural steel standard formulated by the American Standards Association (ASTM), which has similar chemical composition and mechanical performance requirements as SS41 steel plate.

Grade 60 is generally less expensive than Grade 70. If the required thickness already satisfies the design code, using Grade 70 provides no economic benefit.
Example: A low-pressure storage vessel may already meet ASME requirements with Grade 60, so paying more for Grade 70 is unnecessary.
Grade 60 is softer and more ductile, making it easier to:
This is important for complex vessel geometries.
Many vessels are governed by:
rather than tensile strength. In such cases, Grade 70’s higher strength does not reduce thickness significantly.
For some low-temperature applications, Grade 60 may provide acceptable impact properties more easily, depending on the plate mill and heat treatment. Engineers often evaluate actual Charpy test results rather than strength alone.
Some companies have standardized on Grade 60 because:
Using a standard material simplifies procurement and fabrication.
Engineers often select Grade 70 when:
For ASME Section VIII pressure vessels, Grade 70 typically has a higher allowable stress, allowing thinner plates and lower vessel weight.
Suppose a vessel requires a calculated thickness of:
If the specification already requires a minimum 20 mm plate for corrosion allowance, fabrication, or handling reasons, both grades end up using 20 mm plate. In that case, Grade 60 is usually chosen because it is cheaper and easier to fabricate.
Engineers choose A516 Grade 60 over Grade 70 when:
For pressure vessel design, the decision is usually based on a detailed comparison of required thickness, fabrication cost, material cost, and code allowable stress, not simply on which grade has higher strength.
ASTM A537 Class 2 (also standardized as ASME SA537 Class 2) is a high-strength, heat-treated carbon-manganese-silicon steel plate specifically designed for pressure vessel and boiler applications requiring enhanced strength and impact toughness.
The material undergoes a quenching and tempering heat treatment process, providing significantly higher yield and tensile strength compared to normalized carbon steel grades. Its excellent toughness at lower temperatures makes it particularly suitable for demanding service conditions in the oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and cryogenic storage industries.
ASTM A537 Class 2 is a pressure vessel quality steel plate specification covering heat-treated carbon-manganese-silicon steel plates intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels and boilers.
Compared to ASTM A516 grades, A537 Class 2 offers:
The ASME equivalent designation is SA537 Class 2, commonly specified for pressure-retaining equipment constructed according to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements.

| Property | ASTM A537 Class 2 | ASTM A516 Grade 70 |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Treatment | Quenched & Tempered | Normalized/As Rolled |
| Yield Strength | Higher | Moderate |
| Tensile Strength | Higher | Lower |
| Toughness | Excellent | Good |
| Pressure Applications | Severe Service | General Service |
| Cryogenic Service | Preferred | Limited |
For applications requiring greater strength and toughness, ASTM A537 Class 2 is often selected over ASTM A516 Grade 70.

AR 400, JFE 400, NM 400
We offer Wear Resistance AR 400 Steel Plate. ABREX 400, also called SUMIHARD 400, is a union of toughness and hardness, giving it the exclusivity to be used in moderate wear areas. They are designed to weld quickly, looking good in appearance. Our ABREX 400 wear plates have a uniform thickness that guarantees an excellent surface finish.
The Abrex 400 and 500 series (Previously named as Sumihard 400 and 500) is the wear plate series form Nippon Sumitomo Steel Metal Corporation, Japan.
The use of abrasion resistance ABREX steel plate markedly reduces the weight of structural members exposed to serve abrasive conditions. Compare with regular steel, ABREX steel plate reduces structural weight and delivers economic merits.
Adoption of high performance abrasion resistant ABREX will prolong the service life of machinery and component.
Abrex / Sumihard 400 is a through hardened abrasion resistant steel with a typical hardness of 415 BHN. These steels are the most widely used of the wear resistant grades. They exhibit an excellent combination of high resistance to impact, workability, weld ability and resistance to abrasion. It has about 3 times the abrasion resistance of common steel plate and contributes to prolonging the service life of mechanical parts.
WEAR RESISTANT STEEL PATES is used in areas where there is likely to be a high degree of abrasion or wear of the steel plate.
Steels with a high HB rating (Brinel Hardness) are intended for applications where wear or abrasion resistance is important. The benefit of using an abrasion resistant steel is that that the plant, machinery or constructions working life can be extended considerably. This can significantly improve the reliability, durability and safety of structures and equipment. It also helps to reduce the maintenance costs associated with wear and breakdown of plant.
400 HB steel is over 3 times harder than mild steel (120HB), but only a third as hard as stainless steel (1250HB)
Abrasion-resistant steel plates for Cement Plants & Refractory Product Plants: hoppers, crushers, chutes, cyclones, excavator buckets
The major difference is impact resistance. AR500 has higher abrasion resistance, but AR400 has higher impact resistance. … AR500 steel can withstand the abrasion that the rocks cause by sliding better than the AR400 steel, meaning it would last longer.
he technical difference between AR400, AR450 and AR500 is the Brinell Hardness Number (BHN), which indicates the material’s level of hardness:
AR400: 360-440 BHN Typically AR450: 430-480 BHN Typically AR500: 460-544 BHN Typically
Projects that require AR materials are typically those that need a specific balance between hardness and brittleness. As you increase hardness, you also increase brittleness, making the material difficult to form, shape and weld. For some projects, hardness is critical, so brittleness is sacrificed. But in other cases, the material must be formed and handled, so the level of hardness must be reduced.

The technical difference between AR400, AR450 and AR500 is the Brinell Hardness Number (BHN), which indicates the material’s level of hardness:
AR400: 360-440 BHN Typically AR450: 430-480 BHN Typically AR500: 460-544 BHN Typically
Projects that require AR materials are typically those that need a specific balance between hardness and brittleness. As you increase hardness, you also increase brittleness, making the material difficult to form, shape and weld. For some projects, hardness is critical, so brittleness is sacrificed. But in other cases, the material must be formed and handled, so the level of hardness must be reduced.
