ASTM A588 weathering steel plate characteristics and use

ASTM A588 weathering steel plate is weather resistant steel. It is better suited for heavy and load bearing structures. ASTM A588 weathering steel plate has higher strength and low alloy composition although it is structural steel. It is much-admired for the ability to display improved resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to ordinary grade steel materials.

ASTM A588 weathering steel plate is also known as HSLA steel. Its chemical composition grants it high tensile strength. A588 steel plate is heavily used in a broad range of applications such as transmission and phone towers, freight cars, bridge and gusset plates, housing enclosures and so on.

ASTM A588 weathering steel plate maintains an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It meets the strength requirements of carbon steel while weighing much less. The strength of ASTM A588 weathering steel plate contributes to its long lifespan, even subjected to the harshest environment.
