I don't know of such a code requirement, and have seen many tubesheets made of SA516-70 plate.

banu...

I assume that you are fabricating a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

In most of the Western world, such devices are fabricated to a set of Codes and Standards. In the USA, S&THXs are fabricated in accordance with the ASME VIII pressure vessel code.

Within that code, the acceptable materials for tube sheets are listed.

What code are you using ?
