ASTM A588 steel is classified into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K. The ASTM A588 steel specification is based on the standard specification for high-strength, low-alloy structural steel with a lower yield point of up to 50 ksi, intended for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy containing up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements; however, they often contain manganese. The maximum content of manganese, silicon and copper should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.
| A588 Carbon Steel Plate – Description | |
| A588 carbon steel plate has been specially treated to provide good corrosion resistance. It can withstand corrosion from the atmosphere, seawater, salt spray and other environments, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, A588 carbon steel plate is manufactured from high-strength steel and possesses high yield strength and tensile strength, enabling it to meet the requirements of various structural components. The plate also offers good weldability, is easy to weld and machine, and consequently improves the efficiency of engineering installation. A588 carbon steel plates are suitable for various structural components that require corrosion resistance and high strength, such as bridges, buildings, ships and vehicles. | |
