Carbon Steel API 5L X42 Sheets and Plates are primarily made up of carbon, along with carefully controlled amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and small traces of silicon, copper, nickel, and molybdenum. These plates are known for their impressive strength, outstanding toughness, and decent resistance to corrosion. They boast a minimum yield strength of 42,000 psi (290 MPa) and a tensile strength ranging from 60,000 to 80,000 psi (415–550 MPa). Thanks to their good weldability and impact resistance, they’re perfect for structural and pressure-retaining applications, especially in the energy sector for oil and gas transmission systems.
In the petroleum and natural gas industries, Carbon Steel API 5L X42 Sheets and Plates play a crucial role in transporting oil, gas, and water. Their mechanical strength and resilience make them ideal for building pipelines, pressure vessels, and offshore structural components. You’ll also find them in refineries, power plants, and heavy equipment manufacturing. With excellent forming and welding capabilities, they’re well-suited for demanding structural applications, ensuring reliability both onshore and offshore. Their durability and resistance to stress make them a top choice for long-term, high-performance use.
