ASTM A572 Building Structure Plate
The ASTM A572 carbon steel specification covers the standard requirements for Grades 42, 50, 55, 60, and 65 for high-strength low-alloy columbium-vanadium structural steel shapes, plates and bars for applications in bolted, riveted and welded structures in bridges and buildings. A572 Grade 50 is dual certified to A709 Grade 50. Carbon Steels A709-50 material is stocked primarily in Flat Rolled Products, but is also available to a lesser extent in Structural and Bar Products. The combined use of columbium, vanadium, titanium meet the requirements of the producers and A572 specifications.

As a ASTM A572 building structure plate manufacturer, we usually keep hundreds tons A572 building structure plate in stock each month. Based on these stock source, our advantage has spread into steel process like : cutting ( any size and any shape ) drilling, welding, milling, welding. We can also provide the A572 building structure plate in machining parts and steel structure.
