ASTM A588 Grade K is a kind of high-strength low-alloy, and intended primarily for use in welded bridges and buildings where savings in weight or added durability are important. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of ASTM A588 Grade K in most environments is substantially better than that of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, ASTM A588 Grade K is suitable for many applications in the bare(unpainted) condition. In general, the ASTM A588 Grade K plate is up to 8 in.[200 mm] inclusive in thickness.

Not only we could produce A588 Grade K plate according to ASTM A588/A588M, but also the below specifications are listed could be added by customers:
1, Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment of Mechanical Test Coupons
2, Charpy V-Notch Impact Test
3, Drop-Weight Test(for Material 0.625 in.[16 mm] and over in Thickness)
4, Ultrasonic Examination

Besides, we also could do various of heat treatment, please contact us freely for more information.
