ASTM A533 Grade C Class 2 is a high-strength low-alloy steel plate specifically designed for nuclear power and pressure vessel applications.
Nuclear Power Equipment
Reactor Pressure Vessels: Subjected to high temperatures, high pressures, and intense radiation, requiring materials with high strength and radiation resistance.
Steam Generators and Pressurizers: Critical components that demand corrosion resistance and low-temperature toughness.
Nuclear Fuel Storage Tanks: Require radiation resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term, safe storage of nuclear fuel.
Pressure Vessels and Piping
Chemical Reactors and Heat Exchangers: Handle corrosive media, necessitating corrosion resistance and high strength.
Oil and Gas Storage Tanks: Store high-pressure flammable gases, requiring safe and reliable materials.
Cryogenic Liquefied Gas Storage Tanks: Such as LNG tanks, requiring materials to maintain toughness at -162°C.
Energy and Industrial Applications
Thermal Power Boiler Drums: Endure high-temperature, high-pressure steam, requiring high strength and heat resistance.
Heavy Industrial Equipment: Such as mining machinery and frames for large presses, requiring materials capable of bearing heavy loads.
