ASTM A202 Pressure Vessel Steel Material and Grades:
Alloy System: **Chromium-Manganese-Silicon (Cr-Mn-Si)** Low-Alloy Heat-Resistant Steel
ASTM A202 Steel consists of two grades:
Grade A: Moderate strength, high ductility; suitable for riveted structures and medium-load equipment.
Tensile Strength: 515–655 MPa; Yield Strength: ≥275 MPa
Grade B: Higher strength and yield; suitable for heavy-load, high-pressure vessels.
Tensile Strength: 585–760 MPa; Yield Strength: ≥345 MPa

ASTM A202 Pressure Vessel Steel Chemical Composition:
