ASTM A572 steel material is Columbium-Vanadium structural steel used in general construction and structural applications. A572 steel material can be bended or shaped by cold work, and it has increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion, which is good to increase A572 steel structure service life. ASTM A572 steel material properties are as below.
Columbium-Vanadium structural ASTM A572 steel material properties:
ASTM A572 | Yield Point (ksi) | Tensile Strength (ksi) | Min. 8" Elongation % |
A572 grade 42 | 42 | 60 | 20 |
A572 grade 50 | 50 | 65 | 18 |
A572 grade 55 | 55 | 70 | 17 |
A572 grade 60 | 60 | 75 | 16 |
A572 grade 65 | 65 | 80 | 15 |
ASTM A572 steel material properties vary with the grades level. The higher the A572 grade level, the higher its strength. A572 steel material is used for a variety of structural applications such as bridges, buildings, construction equipment, freight cars, machinery, truck parts, transmission towers and so on.
