ASTM A588 is a specification for high-strength, low-alloy structural steel with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance. The steel is available in grades A, B, and K.
ASTM A588 Grade A steel: This grade of steel is used in construction projects where strength is a concern and atmospheric corrosion resistance is desired. It has a yield strength of at least 50 ksi and a tensile strength of 70 ksi.
ASTM A588 Grade B steel: This grade of steel is used in construction projects where atmospheric corrosion resistance is a concern. It has a yield strength of at least 50 ksi and a tensile strength of 70 ksi.
ASTM A588 Grade K steel: This grade of steel is used in construction projects where strength is a concern and atmospheric corrosion resistance is desired. It has a yield strength of at least 50 ksi and a tensile strength of 70 ksi. The "K" in the name of this grade of steel stands for "killed atmospheric corrosion resistance."
All three grades of ASTM A588 steel are commonly used in construction projects, bridges, buildings, transmission towers, freight cars, machinery components, storage tanks, and other applications where exposure to atmospheric elements is a concern. The specific grade of A588 steel used will depend on the specific requirements of the application and the environment in which it will be used.
