A588 is an American standard weathering steel grade. The three grades of A588 grade are expressed as A, B, and C. It is often used in buildings, large factories or waiting halls, and large exhibition venues. The production thickness is between 8mm and 200mm, and the A588 series of high weather-resistant bridge structural steel plates include A588 GradeA, A588 GradeB, A588 GradeC, etc.
Mechanical properties of A588 steel:
Tensile strength MPa: ≥485;
Yield strength MPa: ≥348;
Elongation after break%: ≥21
Delivery status of A588 steel:
A588 steel is delivered in the state of hot rolling or in the state of heat treatment such as normalizing, tempering, normal + back, quenched and tempered.
A588 steel use:
A588GradeB, A588GradeA, A588GradeC are commonly used in construction and various construction machinery, such as drilling rigs, electric shovels, electric wheel dump trucks, mining vehicles, excavators, loaders, bulldozers, various cranes, coal mines, etc. Mechanical equipment such as hydraulic supports and other structural parts, or used in buildings under harsh weather, or used in the construction of waiting halls, steel structure welding.
