ASTM A588 Grade B weathering steel is widely used

ASTM A588 Grade B weathering steel plate has excellent weather resistance and can be used in the atmosphere.

ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate is suitable for making various equipment and facilities damaged by atmospheric erosion.

Since the steel has excellent weather resistance and can be used outdoors for a long time, it can be used to manufacture weather-resistant structural materials in fields such as buildings, factories, and ships.

AUS-A588 alloy is a weather-resistant steel used in the manufacture of other metals such as steel and cast iron, known as the "ruby in the climate".

Due to its excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance, AUS-A588 alloy has been widely used in many countries. In addition, it is also used to make other structural parts that require good weather resistance and low steel strength.

At present, AUS-A588 alloy steel is mainly produced by Canadian steel mills, so steel represented by ASTMA588 is generally used in production for weather resistance tests.

Compared with ASTM A583, the strength of A588 is slightly lower (high strength grade: 336 MPa, low strength grade: 348 MPa). Compared with ASTMC200, A588 has better toughness and fracture toughness, and higher welding performance under low temperature conditions.

Compared with general austenitic stainless steel, in addition to maintaining good toughness and corrosion resistance, A588 has better low-temperature impact toughness and low-temperature processing characteristics (impact energy is 60J).

The steel plate can be used to manufacture various structural parts such as ships, automobiles, airplanes, oil drilling machinery and equipment, and heavy construction machinery. The steel plate has been included in the National Corrosion Control Scheme (NCCLS) project in the United States.
