ASTM A283 is low carbon steel mainly used in general structures as well as oil tanks. The ASTM A283 equivalent steel materials are ASTM A36, JIS SS400, DIN ST37-2, EN S235JR, GBT Q235B, etc. ASTM A283 equivalent steel materials have similar application to ASTM A283 steel. But when used as raw material of oil tanks, ASTM A283 steel is more preferred. Below let us check ASTM A283 equivalent steel materials chemical composition and mechanical properties together.
