What is boiler steel ASTM A516 grade 60 hardness? The hardness of a steel is determined by the heat treatment of the blade. In simple terms, the higher the number, the harder the steel. But it is not the case that one steel is not better than another simply because it is harder.

ASTM A516 grade 60 steel is suitable for boiler and pressure vessel fabrication where improved notch toughness is important. And it is mainly for moderate to lower temperature service in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry.

A higher ASTM A516 grade 60 hardness means a higher resistance and a higher difficulty to perform machining or any other similar operations on the material.
