Yousef Steel is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of NACE HIC Boiler Plates based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We pride ourselves on providing top-notch steel plates that are specifically designed to withstand Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) in harsh environments. Our plates are tailored for industries that deal with sour service conditions, such as oil, gas, and petrochemicals, where it’s crucial to resist hydrogen damage and sulfide stress corrosion. At Yousef Steel, we offer NACE-compliant HIC boiler plates that guarantee durability, safety, and outstanding performance. By strictly following global standards, we deliver dependable steel solutions for boilers, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers around the globe.
NACE HIC Boiler Plates are crafted from low-carbon, fine-grain pressure vessel steels, with carefully controlled levels of carbon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. To boost corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, we may incorporate alloying elements like nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. These plates generally provide a yield strength between 240–460 MPa and a tensile strength ranging from 410–620 MPa, depending on the specific grade. With excellent notch toughness, resistance to hydrogen cracking, and good weldability, NACE HIC plates excel in sour gas environments, ensuring a long service life and structural integrity even under challenging operating conditions.
| Grade | ASME SA 516 Boiler and Pressure Vessel Steel Plates |
|---|---|
| Width | 1000mm-4500mm |
| Thickness | 5mm-150mm |
| Length | 3000mm-18000mm |
| Supply Condition | As Rolled, Normalized Rolling, Furnace Normalizing, Vacuum Degassing, Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment or as per customer requirement. |
| Impact tested | 52° C |
| Tempering | Notch toughness can be improved by quenched cooling from hot rolling or normalizing by the supplier. If such a faster cooling rate is agreed upon between purchaser and supplier then the steel is also to be tempered at 1200 F. |
| Applications | Used for weld fabrication of pressure vessels that require improved notch toughness for lower than ambient temperature service. |
| Process of Manufacturing | Hot-Rolled (HR) |
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
NACE HIC Boiler Plates are a go-to choice in industries that face sour service and tough environments. In the oil and gas world, you’ll find them in pressure vessels, separators, and pipelines that carry sour crude and natural gas. Over in petrochemical plants, they play a crucial role in heat exchangers, reactors, and boilers where exposure to hydrogen sulfide is a regular occurrence. Power generation facilities also rely on them for high-pressure boilers and steam generation systems. Thanks to their impressive resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and cracking, these plates deliver reliable performance even in the harshest conditions, making them a top pick for safe and dependable operations in critical industrial projects.
NACE HIC Boiler Plates are mostly applied in hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) susceptible environments, and hence they are best suited for sour service condition applications. These plates are extensively used in the fabrication of pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, and storage tanks that deal with hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). The primary industries applying these plates are oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing. Their higher toughness and corrosion resistance guarantee long-term performance in severe environments, minimizing the risk of material failure.
