What is ASTM A537 Class 2 steel？

ASTM A537 Class 2 steel is a higher yield and tensile strength material used in the fabrication of pressurised vessels and steel boilers.
The steel includes the alloying of carbon, manganese and silicon and is heat treated using the quenched and tempered method which gives the material its residual strength. Sourced by the world’s leading fabricators, ASTM A537 Class 2 is a material used extensively by the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.

Equivalent Materials for A537 Class 2

Equivalents include ASME SA537 Class 2, EN 10028-3 P460NH, DIN 19Mn6, JIS SPV490.

Standard	Grade/Equivalent	Key Features	Applications
ASTM A537	Class 2	Q&T, yield 415 MPa	High-pressure vessels
ASME SA537	Class 2	Identical	Boilers
EN 10028-3	P460NH	Similar Q&T properties	Elevated temp service
JIS G3115	SPV490	High strength boiler steel	Pressure boilers

These support global compatibility.

Basic Information

ASTM A537 Class 2 steel Chemical Composition

(Heat Analysis, wt. %, maximum unless indicated)

Meets chemical requirements of ASTM A537 Class 2/ SA537 Class 2, as shown below. ASTM A20 limits apply to unspecified elements.

C (max wt %)	Mn 1) (max wt %)	P 2) (max wt %)	S 2) (max wt %)	Si (max wt %)	Cu (max wt %)	Ni 1) (max wt %)	Cr (max wt %)	Mo (max wt %)
0.24	1.60	0.020	0.010	0.50	0.35	0.25	0.25	0.080

¹⁾ Manganese may exceed 1.35 % on heat analysis, up to a maximum of 1.60 %, and nickel may exceed 0.25 % on heat analysis, up to a maximum of 0.50 %, provided the heat analysis carbon equivalent (CEV) does not exceed 0.57 %.

²⁾ P and S are more restrictive than A537/SA537 requirements. Even lower limits for P and S are available on an inquiry basis.
