Where resistance to high temperature and good anti-corrosion characteristics are required, is a
carbon alloy steel plate is a material to consider. It is a pressure vessel grade steel which is
used commonly by fabricators who supply the oil and gas industry.
Due to the materials excellent corrosion resistant properties, ASTM A387 GRADE 91 Class 2 is
also an option for use in sour service environments. The material has good weldability and with
its heat resistant qualities, the material is a highly versatile steel which can be used in
numerous applications.
