What is ASTM A588 material?

ASTM A588 is a specification for high strength structural steel. A588 steel material can be used for making plates found in construction and structural engineering. It is also called weathering steel as it can withstand atmospheric corrosion.

ASTM A588 strips can be used in outdoor structures where it is exposed to harsh environmental conditions. It forms a protective rust-like layer on the surface, which slows down the corrosion process. The ASTM A588 coil material is also known for its high tensile strength, durability and aesthetic appeal.

What is the difference between ASTM A588 and A36?

  • A588 steel sheet is more corrosion resistant compared to A36.
  • The ASTM A588 weathering steel forms a protective layer when exposed to the elements which is not the case with A36.
  • ASTM A588 grades have higher tensile & yield strength compared to A36.

FAQs for ASTM A588 Plate & Sheet

A588 is Not A Corten. There Are Molybdenum, Nickel, And Chrome In Cor-Ten A-588 Steel, Which Means It Contains These Three Elements. As An Outside Construction Material And Architectural Element, Corten Steel Is An Alloy With High Strength And Weather Resistance. Chromium And Molybdenum Are Added To The Low-Alloy Steel To Make It Resistant To Corrosive Chemicals, Saline Environments, And Other Harsh Weather Conditions.

A588 HSLA steel plate offers excellent weathering resistance and is used in bridges, buildings, etc. ASTM A992 is a structural steel specification used for wide flange shapes in various construction projects.

A992 material has a higher yield and tensile strength compared to A588. Thus, it is more suitable for heavy duty structural applications like steel frames & beams in building construction.

To determine the right size of A588 steel plate Grade B for your project, several factors are to be considered.

  • Evaluate the load & structural requirements of your application.
  • Determine the desired dimensions like length, width and thickness as per the design specifications & engineering calculations.
  • Consider any additional requirements like cutting or shaping.
  • Also, take into account allowances for fabrication or installation.
  • Consult with an experienced supplier like Ridhi Siddhi Steel Corporation. They can provide you with valuable guidance on selecting the appropriate size, considering different factors.

“Corten” Stands For Corrosion-Resistant Steel. It is An Alloy To Protect Steel Against Corrosion And Weathering. As The Name Indicates, It Comprises Corrosion, Ten, Meaning Persistence, And Ten, Meaning Alloy.
