ASTM A572 Gr 50 is a 50 grade low-alloy high-strength structural steel in ASTM A572/A572M standard. ASTM A572 Gr 50 steel is mainly used in construction, bridge, ship, vehicle and other important welding structures. Because of its high strength, good toughness and weldability, ASTM A572 Gr 50 steel has been used by quite a number of mechanical manufacturers.
ASTM A572 Gr 50 mechanical properties:
Grade | Thickness(mm) | Min Yield (Mpa) | Tensile(MPa) | Elongation(%) |
ASTM A572 Gr 50 | 8mm-50mm | 345Mpa | 450Mpa | 21% |
50mm-200mm | 345Mpa | 450Mpa | 18% | |
The min impact energy is longitudinal energy |
ASTM A572 Gr 50 steel is versatile and easy to cut. You can cut ASTM A572 Gr 50 steel with plasma, oxy-Acetylene, laser, water jet, and abrasive cut-off saws. Machining, drilling, milling, welding, bending and general machining can also all be done with conventional equipment and carbide tools to ASTM A572 Gr 50 steel.
