china 45mm astm a588 high strength low alloy steel

ASTM A588 is an international material standard for high strength, low alloy structural steel with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance which is used for bridges, buildings and other structures. The material has high tensile strength of up to 345MPa, and good weldability, properties which make it ideal for use in the construction sector.

ASTM A588 provides a range of grade and product forms to address the diverse requirements and applications of designers for bridge, building and general structural applications. The material comes in different shapes, such as plate, sheet, coil, channel, angle and tube. This material is suitable for applications, such as bridges and transmission structures, building components, storage tanks, curtain walls and bridging components.

In terms of performance, ASTM A588 provides a combination of high strength and corrosion resistance. The material performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is resistant to corrosion caused by humidity and airborne pollutants, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.

The material has properties such as excellent strength and enhanced formability, good atmospheric corrosion resistance and excellent weldability. The steel also has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than carbon steel and alloy steel and a higher yield strength than that of conventional alloy steels. Its atmospheric corrosion resistance gives it a highly effective service life, even in alkaline environments, and its weldability enables it to be used in a wide range of applications.

As a material, ASTM A588 is versatile and relatively inexpensive. Its mechanical properties make it suitable for a variety of applications, such as bridges and buildings, and its corrosion resistant properties make it ideal for outdoor applications. So ASTM A588 is an excellent choice for those looking for a cost-effective and reliable material for construction purposes.
