1. ASTM SA179 Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties

ElementComposition (%)
Carbon (C)≤ 0.06
Manganese (Mn)0.27–0.63
Phosphorus (P)≤ 0.035
Sulfur (S)≤ 0.035

The low carbon content in SA179 minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation, ensuring superior ductility and weldability while maintaining excellent thermal conductivity.


PropertyValue
Tensile Strength≥ 325 MPa (47,000 psi)
Yield Strength≥ 180 MPa (26,000 psi)
Elongation≥ 35%
Hardness≤ 72 HRB

These mechanical properties ensure that SA179 seamless tubes can withstand high pressures and temperatures while maintaining structural integrity and efficient heat transfer.
