ASTM A572 Grade 50 low alloy carbon steel plates are specified in ASTM A572/A572M standard. ASTM A572/A572M specification covers the standard requirements for Grades 42 [290], 50 [345], 55 [380], 60 [415], and 65 [450] of high strength low alloy columbium vanadium structural steel for applications in bolted, welded, and riveted structures in bridges and buildings.
ASTM A572 Grade 50 low alloy carbon steel plates are high strength, low alloy steel plates that offer an optimum combination of strength, weldability and notch toughness with economy. ASTM A572 Grade 50 low alloy carbon steel plates are more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but require more force than common carbon steel.
ASTM A572 Grade 50 low alloy carbon steel plates applications include bridges, buildings, automotive and truck parts, railroad cars, cargo containers, tote boxes, construction equipment, structural tubing, lighting standards and transmission poles, etc.
