Study of the Potential of Medium Carbon Steel as Main Pressure Vessel Material: A Literature Study a) Mechanical Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Medan Abstract The application of pressure vessel technology in various industrial sectors is a common thing that often happens. This is caused by the main function of the pressure vessel which plays a very important role in industrial jobs. As a result, there has been an increase in the cost of making pressure vessels, especially in terms of workmanship. Medium carbon steel is one of the materials that is esasy to obtain and inexpensive. However, the common material of pressure vessels is seamless steel. The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential of medium carbon steel as the main material for pressure vessels. This type of research was a literature review. This study explores the properties of medium carbon steel which was then compared to the characteristics of the pressure vessel. The results of the study show that medium carbon steel can be the main material for pressure vessels because it has moderate mechanical properties that are strong against high pressure. However, medium carbon steel has a good corrosion rate. Medium carbon steel can be used as a basic material for pressure vessels with certain treatments.
