What is ASTM A572 Grade 50 Steel?
ASTM A572 Gr 50 is a High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) structural steel specification that covers five different grades of steel shapes, plates, sheet piling, and bars. Grade 50 specifically has a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi (50 ksi or 345 MPa) as well as a minimum tensile strength of 65,000 psi (65 ksi or 450 MPa).
The strength of A572 Grade 50 is the result of alloying elements like columbium (niobium) and/or vanadium while offering enhanced toughness and weldability while maintaining a fine-grain size. A572 Grade 50 is typically used in applications that do not require significant increases in weights.
Benefits of ASTM A572 Grade 50 Plates:
- High Strength: Provides minimum yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa) which means lighter structures and higher load carrying ability.
- Excellent Weldability: Capable of being welded with commercial practices and thus can be fabricated easily.
- Good Formability: Good for a variety of forming operations providing you more options and designs.
- Improved Notch Toughness: Offers more resistance to brittle fractures as compared to some carbon steels.
- Cost-Effective: Offers higher strength and weight ratio which can assist with lowering material costs and transportation costs.
- Versatile: Has a range of applications within the structure, construction and manufacturing industries.
- Consistent Supply: Corten Steel Tube is capable of guaranteeing full delivery and on-time delivery.

FAQ’s About ASTM A572 Grade 50 Plates & Sheets
ASTM A572 Grade 50 is a High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) columbium-vanadium structural steel. The ASTM A572 specification outlines the requirements for this type of steel, which is primarily designed for structural applications and general construction where greater strength and, often, better weldability are needed compared to conventional carbon steels.
While direct one-to-one equivalents can sometimes be complex due to minor variations in standards, common comparable grades to ASTM A572 Grade 50 include several European standards under EN 10025-2, such as S355JR, S355J0, S355J2, and S355K2. For an ASTM A572 Grade 50 equivalent Indian Standard, IS 2062 E350 (with its variants like A, B, C) is often considered.
The primary difference lies in their strength. ASTM A572 Grade 50 is a High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steel with a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi (50 ksi or 345 MPa). In contrast, ASTM A36 is a carbon structural steel with a lower minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (36 ksi or 250 MPa). This means A572 Grade 50 can withstand higher stresses and loads, often allowing for lighter structures because less material can be used to achieve the same strength. If your structure demands superior strength-to-weight ratio, ASTM A572 Gr 50 Plates are generally preferred over A36.
The price of ASTM A572 Grade 50 steel plates can vary based on several factors, including current market conditions for raw materials, the quantity ordered, specific dimensions (thickness, width, length), any required processing (like cutting or testing), and delivery location. At Amardeep, we strive to offer competitive pricing. For the most accurate and up-to-date quotation for ASTM A572 Grade 50 per kg or per tonne, please contact our sales team directly with your specific requirements.
The thickness of SA572 Grade 50 Plate ranges between 8mm to 200mm.
