A285 is a carbon steel intended for fusion-welded applications and Kloeckner Metals is proud to supply it routinely across our nationwide network of branches.
It is a carbon steel that is formable and strong. It is intended for fusion-welding in applications like pressure vessel boilers, tanks, and heat exchangers. It has three grades: A, B, and C.
It is easy to form, machine and weld. This grade is specifically intended for fusion-welded pressure vessels and is not recommended for structural and other applications.
It is seen in the oil and gas industry.
It is intended for all kinds of fusion-welded process vessels, heat exchangers, and storage tanks. This includes: columns, reactors, gravity separators, boiler drums, and cooling towers.
It has good machinability.
It has excellent weldability.
It is heat treatable.

There are three grades of this steel: A, B, and C. All grades are meant for fusion-welded pressure vessels. They increase in tensile strength from A to C, and their chemical properties vary slightly. For more information regarding the specifications for all three grades, please see the ATSM standards.
A283 is a low carbon structural steel. Only SA283 steel plate would be viable for similar pressure vessel applications to A285.
Grade C shows the highest tensile strength at 380 – 515 MPa.
