What is ASTM A588 grade B carbon steel plate A588 Gr B high strength steel sheet?
ASTM A588 grade B carbon steel plate is a high strength steel that offers all the advantages of A572 Gr 50 but with excellent corrosion resistance to the elements. A588 Gr B is short for A588 grade B. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of A588 grade B carbon steel plate is substantially better than that of carbon steels such as A36 and A572 gr 50 with or without copper addition.

| 125-200mm | ≥290 | ≥435 |
ASTM A588 grade B carbon steel plate A588 Gr B high strength steel sheet application:
The addition of copper to A588 grade B carbon steel plate allows it to withstand atmospheric corrosion four times greater than general purpose steel while providing the strength and strength-to-weight properties comparable to A572 steel. So A588 Gr B high strength steel is commonly used for products that are exposed to weather. A588 grade B carbon steel plate is suitable for many applications in the unpainted condition.
