astm a588 gr k corten steel for container

ASTM A588 Grade K is a high strength low alloy structural steel that is air dry formed. This steel is a weathering steel with a wide range of uses. English name: Atmospheric corrosion resistant hot rolled steel. The grade is equivalent to GB 09CuPCrNi-A, Q345GNHL, S355J0WP, SMA570W, Q295NH steel.

A588 K grade steel is the primary low alloy steel and is often combined with the most economical steels on the market. The atmospheric corrosion resistance grade of A588 Grade K steel material is suitable for lighter parts or gears, many of which have excellent strength and atmospheric corrosion resistance.

A588 Grade K steel material is designed for various applications where strength and wear characteristics are remarkable. An ideal product in applications and materials environments where increased wear resistance, wide pressure ranges are relevant. This kind of steel is made to meet specific mechanical property requirements and are qualified for the atmospheric pressure they are unearthed in.

A588 Grade K steel material can be applied in environments subjected to harsh conditions that has an incredibly low conductivity. A588 Grade K steel material can be corrosion resistant against atmospheres, like corrosive spray and sea water splatter. This kind of steel material also has very good cold roping and thermal properties and excellent electrical features.

In addition, A588 Grade K steel material is excellent of welding and formability. This kind of steel is not recommended in an application where any exposure to extreme temperatures is possible because of the risk of temper embrittlement. Therefore, A588 Grade K steel material is ideal for use in container fabrication, bridge fabrication, and other types of parts and industrial fabrications where excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion is required.

A588 Grade K steel material can be used in many corrosive applications such as hydrochloric acid, fuel, brine, chemicals, oil and gas, and sewage treatment. It also provides excellent corrosion protection for sensitive applications over a wide temperature range. The steel is well received by customers for its excellent physical and chemical properties. With its combination of exceptional properties, A588 K Grade Steel offers greater corrosion protection than other conventional steels and is ideal for applications exposed to extreme environments.
