What is ASTM A588 grade A weather resistant steel plate

ASTM A588 grade A weather resistant steel plate is a high strength steel that offers all the advantages of A572 Gr. 50 but with excellent corrosion resistance to the elements. The elevated levels of copper in ASTM A588 grade A weather resistant steel plate produces a self healing characteristic that produces a natural red oxide patina look.
