This document compares the characteristics of SA 516 Gr. 70 and SA 612 steel grades. SA 516 Gr. 70 has a thickness limitation of 8 inches, is killed and fine austenitic grains, and normalized. It has maximum carbon of 0.28% and manganese of 0.79-1.30%. SA 612 has a thickness limitation of 1 inch, can be as-rolled, and has maximum carbon of 0.29% and manganese of 0.92-1.62%. Both must meet requirements for sulfur, phosphorus, and silicon.
