ASTM A588 Weathering Steel Grades

Among the prominent manufacturers of ASTM A588 GR.A plates, BBN Steel is one of them. They are made from ASTM material and are of A grade. In addition to its many shapes, sizes, and specifications, this product is offered in many grades. This product is the steel plate which is made of the specification known as ASTM A588. They are known for their high strength as well as lower composition of alloy throughout its structure. And their wide use is primarily due to these properties.

ASTM A588 standard (also called ASME SA588)specifies high strength low alloy ASTM A588 weathering steel Grades for structural purposes, it includes 4 grades: A588Grade A, A588 Grade B, A588Grade C, A588Grade K. It also exhibits a high resistance to stress related corrosion, as well as excellent protection against corrosion cracking and pitting.

Its excellent corrosion resistance and abilities to inhibit oxidation, toxic gases, reduction, and reactive chemicals are some of its many corrosion-related advantages. Additionally, it is able to resist extremely hot conditions and extreme temperatures. This material is excellent for weldability and machinability. The material is ideally suited for joining and bending. Highly rigid and tough, they can be bent and joined seamlessly.

They are very tough and are able to withstand even the most severe conditions. It can be used in a number of varying weather conditions as well. Steel plates for weathering are available in various shapes including hot rolled, cold rolled, normalised, and even tempered. All of these products can be customised to meet your needs. Our products are also subjected to various tests, including destructive and non-destructive tests, like firmness tests, impact tests, etc.
