What is ASTM A588 Steel Plate ?

 

The ASTM A588 Steel Plate is a high-strength and low-alloy steel plate which is particularly used in applications where higher strength and longer life cycle is a major requirement.

 

The A588 Corten material shows good resistance to atmospheric conditions due to the formation of natural rust patina on its surface. It is formed when the material is exposed to outdoor weather conditions. Being specially formulated, the A588 Weathering Steel is substantially better compared to other steel specifications like A36 or A572.

The A588 Steel products can be ideally used for riveting, welding, or bolting, in different types of construction applications. Due to its characteristics, the A588 Corten Steel Plate can be found in bridges and buildings.

 

Due to the unique ASTM A588 Steel Properties, it can be used in a bare state or in unpainted conditions when they are exposed properly. The atmospheric corrosion resistance capabilities of A588 Corten Steel Plate is better than that of carbon steel, with or without the addition of copper.

 

When it is exposed to the atmosphere in unpainted condition, the A588 Plate has a wide range of applications. The A588 Floor Plate is to be used in applications where less weight, high durability and good corrosion resistance are important requirements.

 

Why is A588 Steel used for welded bridges and buildings?

 

The A588 is used for welded bridges and buildings as it promotes weight savings and has greater durability. It also has an increased life cycle due to its corrosion-resistant properties.

 

What is ASTM A588 Steel Welding ?

The Astm A588 is basically a structural steel which is covered under the structural welding code of AWS D1.1.

Astm A588 Steel Welding

info-300-200

Clean the grooves in the weld before starting the procedure.

To generate a robust welding area, clear the grooves of any debris or dirt and then couple them with SS.

Non-pulsating solder should be used to create a priming layer in the lowest section of the weld zone.

Weld the modules at a low voltage in the Astm A588 Steel Welding technique to limit the heat generated. This reduces the amount of time these modules take to melt.

Is A588 the same as Corten?

ASTM A588 is also referred to as Corten® and covers structural shapes, plate, and bar. This alloy is made up of copper, chromium, nickel, and other elements that give it its weathering resistance properties.

 

What is A588 steel plate?

Corrosion-resistant ASTM A588 steel weathering plate, also referred to as Corten® steel is a heavy-duty material that provides a protective and aesthetically pleasing rust-like appearance when exposed to atmospheric conditions. A588 steel weathering plate offers all the advantages of ASTM A572-50.

 

What is ASTM A 588 equivalent to?

The ASTM A588 grade A plate is equivalent to Corten A steel plate. ASTM A242 plate is equivalent to Corten B. Compared with common low alloy high strength steel such as A572 Grade 50, ASTM A588 and ASTM A242 has advantages of weathering resistant performances.

 

Can A588 steel be welded?

ASTM A588 weathering steel is a structural steel covered under the AWS D1. 1. Structural Welding Code. It is a group II steel which means prequalified welding procedures may be used.
