CARELSO 60/65 Steel for Pressure Equipment in Mild Sour Service
CarElso® 60/65 is a special CMn steel adapted for pressure equipment. CarElso® 60/65 is manufactured via the electric arc furnace with desulphurisation, dephosphorisation, ladle refining and vacuum degassing to provide a reproducible, clean and homogeneous steel.
CarElso® 60/65 has been designed with the aim of reducing the carbon content in order to provide excellent weldability and toughness properties. The low carbon equivalent allows this grade to meet the hardness requirements of the NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 under suitable welding conditions.
This steel is particularly suitable for pressure equipment in refinery applications in
mild sour service conditions, where wet H2S corrosion can be a problem (e.g. separators, exchangers). ® CarElso is an Industeel Trademark

WELDING The reduced carbon equivalent of CarElso® 60/65 means that under typical industrial conditions, pre-heating is not required. CONDITIONS
HAZ In H2S service, it is necessary to limit the maximum HAZ hardness to ≤ 22HRC or ≤ 248Hv10 in order to reduce the risk of Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC). PROPERTIES CarElso® 60/65 has been designed to comply fully with these limits imposed by NACE Standard MR 0175/ISO 15156.
In order to control the maximum HAZ hardness, the carbon equivalent must be limited, ideally to ≤ 0.43%, and microalloying additions should be avoided for normalised steels. CarElso® 60/65, with a carbon equivalent ≤ 0.38%, easily meets these requirements, and the hardness limit can be met under a wide range of welding conditions, even without PWHT.
