Overview of ASTM B516 Specification
ASTM B516 is a standard requirement that deals with welded tubes manufactured of nickel and nickel-based alloys to be used in high-temperature and corrosion-resistant service. The specification contains specifications to do with chemical makeup, mechanical properties, manufacturing process, heat treatment and examination.
ASTM B516 welded tubes are usually produced by automatic welding without filler metal in which then heat is applied by cold working and solution annealing. This process allows control of the manufacturing process to produce a refined grain structure, high weld integrity and stable mechanical properties all along the length of the tube.
ASTM B516 welded tubes are also accepted in the pressure equipment and boiler application in the international markets since the ASME SB516 is commonly provided.
Nickel Alloy Grades Used in ASTM B516 Welded Tubes
Various alloys of nickel are used in the production of ASTM B516 welded tubes with each having its own set of performance benefits relative to service conditions. These alloys are chosen because they can withstand high temperature, oxidation and high intensity of chemicals.
Grades that are commonly provided are Inconel 600, Inconel 601, Inconel 690 and other nickel-chromium alloys included in ASTM B516. These materials are of good thermal stability, stress corrosion cracking resistance and service life in harsh operating conditions.
The choice of the right grade will be based on the factors like the operating temperature, pressure, the exposure to the corrosive media, and systems design requirements.
Chemical Composition and Mechanical Strength
ASTM B516 welded tubes have a high performance reliability as the chemical composition and mechanical properties are strictly regulated. Nickel is the main component, which offers resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and chromium is another one, which strengthens and stabilizes at a high temperature.

Manufacturing Process at Shubham Metals
At Shubham Metals, the production of ASTM B516 welded tubes is performed in high production technology with a strict procedure in control. Nickel alloy strips are shaped like tubes and are welded through automatic welding systems to achieve the additional quality of the weld.
This is followed by cold working of the tubes followed by the right heat treatment after welding to attain the preferred mechanical characteristics. The tubes are then straightened, dimensionally checked and made ready to inspect. Such an organized mode of production assures quality performance, reliability and adherence to the ASTM B516 standards.
