product description

The A588 Grade C steel plate is a high strength, low alloy steel plate that is ideal for use in outdoor environments. It is highly resistant to corrosion, and the alloy contains chromium, copper, nickel, and molybdenum. The steel plate has excellent weldability and formability, making it an excellent choice for any structural steel construction project.

A588 Grade C steel plate is used for structural applications including bridges, buildings, construction equipment, and other structures. The steel plate is often used in marine and waterfront structures as well. It is also popular in industrial applications as well. The mechanical properties of the steel allow it to be used in a variety of working conditions.

The specific properties of A588 Grade C steel include a tensile strength of 70 to 85 ksi, a yield strength of 50 ksi, and an elongation of 20%. It also has a Brinell hardness range of 153 to 229. The steel has a Charpy impact value of 15 ft-lb at -20°F and 23 ft-lb at 0°F. The A588 Grade C steel has a carbon content of 0.092% and a manganese content of 1.03%. It also contains small amounts of elements such as phosphorus and sulfur.

A588 Grade C steel is often supplied in the normalized or normalized and tempered form. It can also be supplied in as-rolled form. It is available in two thicknesses: 3/16" and 1/4". The thickness affects the strength of the material; the thicker the material is, the higher the strength. The higher the steel’s strength, the more robustly it can be used in construction.

When welding the A588 Grade C steel plate it is important to use the correct equipment and techniques. It is best to use low-alloy steel electrodes for joining and welding the steel plate. It is also important to use correct preheat temperatures prior to welding and proper post-weld heat treatment. The preheat temperature should be between 400°F and 600°F when welding in an area with temperatures below 32°F.

A588 Grade C steel plate is easy to machinability, and shaped into parts and components. It is important to use high-speed tooling when working with the steel plate to ensure a clean cut. It can also be easily painted or powder-coated. The steel plate is highly durable, making it a popular choice for building and constructions purposes.

A588 Grade C steel plate is a highly versatile material and is ideal for use in a wide range of applications. The steel has excellent weldability and formability, making it an excellent choice for any structural steel project. It has excellent resistance to corrosion and is highly durable, making it perfect for use in outdoor environments. The steel can be easily machined and shaped into parts, as well as painted or powder-coated.
