What is ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet

ASTM A572 steel is for high strength low alloy (HSLA) structural steel plate integrated with columbium-vanadium. ASTM A572 steel covers 5 grades: 42, 50, 55, 60 and 65. ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet is one of the most common steels in applications where need more strength and less weight. Compared with ordinary carbon steel, ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet will make the steel structure with same steel strength but lighter weight.

ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet is a low alloy, high strength steel, popular for its strength. With a better strength to weight ratio, ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet is a natural step up from ASTM A36 steel when more strength is needed. The increased strength of ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet does not compromise its ductility and weldability.

ASTM A572 gr50 steel plate and sheet is columbium-vanadium structural steel for use in general construction and structural applications, such as bridges, buildings, construction equipment, freight cars, machinery, truck parts and transmission towers, etc.
