The high strength low alloy steel A572 grade 50 plate is under ASTM A572/A572M standard. A572 grade 50 plate is the most commonly used A572 steel. The high strength low alloy steel A572 grade 50 plate offers lower weight, higher yield and tensile strength than A36 mild steel plate.
The high strength low alloy steel A572 grade 50 plate is columbium vanadium steel with trace elements of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and silicon. Copper, nickel, and chromium are sometimes also added to A572 grade 50 plate to increase its corrosion resistance.
The high strength low alloy steel A572 grade 50 plate is designed to offer optimum combinations of strength, weldability, and notch toughness at economical costs. It is a common choice for A572 grade 50 plate in the construction of bridges, buildings, and construction equipment.
