* It is important to note that this grade of steel may be susceptible to cracking in the heat-affected zone of welds during post-weld
heat treatment (stress relief). Therefore, ISG Plate recommends that careful consideration be given to this phenomenon by
competent welding engineers before stress relieving is applied to weldments of this grade. Also, it is not recommended for
service at temperatures lower than -50˚F or higher than 800˚F.
** A20: Raise tensile strength range by 5 ksi.
† Post-weld heat treatment may degrade heat-affected zone strength and toughness. Pretesting of specific welding and post-weld
heat treating procedures is recommended to assure optimization of final property levels.
▲ Also available as ABS grades EQ/FQ 63/70
■ Restricted to ASTM A20 limits for unspecified elements.
