This Material Specification applies to quenched and tempered heavy plates made of the special structural steel N-A-XTRA® This steel can be supplied in 3 different grades with a minimum yield strength of 550, 620 and 700 MPa. All steel grades can be delivered in two qualities with different toughness properties. 1) Quality for low service temperature with minimum impact energy at - 40 °C (N-A-XTRA® M) in a thickness range from 3 to 100 mm. 2) Special quality for low service temperature with minimum impact energy at - 60 °C (classic N-A-XTRA®) in a thickness range from 3 to 50 mm. Application: The steels are used for welded constructions of all kinds, such as pressure vessels, penstocks, bridges and structures, as well as transport vehicles, mobile cranes, mining equipment, hoistings and earth moving equipment, which are utilized in different types of climatic conditions. If continuous yielding occurs, the yield strength is determined as Rp0,2 Information Provided by Thyssen Krupp |
