What is ASTM A588 Gr B carbon steel plate A588 grade B heavy plate?
ASTM A588 Gr B carbon steel plate A588 grade B heavy plate is a high strength low alloy (HSLA) formable steel ideal for machining and welding. A588 Gr B is short for A588 grade B. A588 Gr B carbon steel plate is a new generation of advanced steel material, and it has 2~5 times higher atmospheric corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel. And the longer its application time is, the more prominent corrosion resistance A588 Gr B carbon steel plate has.
