CarElso® 60/65 HIC is a special normalised CMn steel adapted for pressure equipment. CarElso® 60/65 HIC is manufactured via the electric arc furnace with desulfurisation, dephosphorisation, ladle refining and vacuum degassing to provide a reproducible, clean and homogeneous steel.

The use of special steelmaking practice imparting high steel cleanliness gives CarElso® 60/65 HIC excellent resistance to wet H 2 S cracking such as HIC. This steel also displays excellent weldability and toughness properties.

This steel is particularly suitable for pressure equipment in refinery applications in sour service conditions, where wet H 2 S corrosion can be a problem (e.g. separators, exchangers).
