A588GrA is a high-strength low-alloy steel that is resistant to atmospheric corrosion in the American standard ASTMA 588/A588M-05. As alloying elements in this steel, there are Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu, V, etc. The addition of V can play the role of grain refinement and precipitation strengthening, and other elements are solid solution strengthening.
The addition of these elements not only improves the strength of the steel, but also deteriorates the weldability of the steel. The steel is alloyed by adding Cu element to improve atmospheric corrosion resistance. The content of Cu is high, reaching 0.32%, and Cu element is an element that is easy to cause welding hot cracks.
