What is ASTM A242 steel plate

ASTM A242 steel plate is atmospheric corrosion resistant steel. It is low alloy steel between ordinary steel and stainless steel. ASTM A242 steel plate is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of corrosion resistant elements such as copper and nickel. ASTM A242 steel plate has the characteristics of toughness, ductility, forming, welding, abrasion, high temperature and fatigue resistance of high quality steel.

At the same time, ASTM A242 steel plate has the characteristics of rust resistance, corrosion resistance, life extension, thinning and consumption reduction, labor saving and energy saving.

ASTM A242 steel plate is mainly used in railway, vehicles, bridges, towers, photovoltaic, high-speed engineering and other long-term exposure to the atmosphere of steel structures. ASTM A242 steel plate is used to manufacture structural parts such as containers, railway vehicles, oil derricks, harbour buildings, oil platforms and containers containing hydrogen sulfide corrosion media in chemical and petroleum equipment.
