ASTM A588 steel yield strength is greater than 46,000 psi

ASTM A588 steel is high strength low alloy structural steel with good atmospheric corrosion resistance. ASTM A588 steel yield strength is greater than 46,000 psi and tensile strength is equal to or greater than 65,700 psi at break. High ASTM A588 steel yield strength contributes to its long lifespan, even when subjected to the harshest elements.

ASTM A588 steel is designed for projects requiring atmospheric corrosion resistance. The advantage of ASTM A588 steel over A572 Gr 50 steel is its weathering ability. With high ASTM A588 steel yield strength, the ASTM A588 steel is utilized primarily in structural applications such as bridges and buildings.

ASTM A588 steel has 50 ksi (345 MPa) minimum yield point to 4 in (100 mm) thickness. ASTM A588 steel is used in general structural applications when the structural will be riveted, bolted, or welded.
