Product Description

ASTM A588 specifies high strength low alloy weathering steel for structural purposes, it includes 4 grades: Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, Grade K. For it has protective oxide film on steel surface, compared with ASTM A36 and ASTM A572-50, it has better corrosion resistant characteristic, use ASTM A588 steel plate instead of common carbon steel will make the structure lighter for it has higher strength. It has many application fields: outdoor sculptures, cranes, bridges, rail cars, transmission towers, highway poles, and shipbuilding.L. V. Overseas specializes in weathering steel plates, with years of project experience, we supply high-quality ASTM A588 steel plates with the best service.

Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark Weathering Steel B steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as “Weathering Steel B”, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to obviate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years. United States Steel Corporation (USS) holds the registered trademark on the name Weathering Steel are in common production and use.
