Weathering Steel Plate ASTM A588 Stock

A588 is a low alloy structural steel grade. The A588 Steel Plate is designed with a superior chemical composition of carbon, manganese, phosphorous, sulfur, silicon, nickel, chromium, vanadium, and copper. The superior content embedded within the A588 Plate gives them enhanced corrosion and oxidation resistance properties. These plates are designed in thickness above 6mm and provide stability and support to different applications. The A588 Weathering Steel shows enhanced tolerance to different weathering contaminants.

The lightweight steel has excellent strength and protects the steel against acidic media and toxic contaminants. These steel components are usually divided into groups A and B. Astm A588 Gr A Weathering Steel Plate has an oxide layer on its surface that gives it protection against different media in a wide set of atmospheric conditions. These plates reduce the overall cost of the plate due to their robust design demographics.

The A588 Corten Steel Plate is a high-strength module designed with a minimum of 50,000psi of tensile strength. These plates are commonly seen in applications where the grade has lower maintenance costs. The robust Astm A588 Steel Properties allows the components to be suitable for constructing buildings and bridges. Furthermore, the components can be easily welded in place using a standard procedure. In the Astm A588 Steel Welding process grooves are created in the steel before initiating the welding process.

After removing any debris or contaminants from the grooves a non-pulsating solder is utilized to create a weld zone. The welding is performed at low voltage to reduce the melting time taken by the modules. The A588 Floor Plate has excellent anti-skid properties and provides good durability for long periods.
