Corrosion-Resistant A588 Alloy Steel
- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Specifications Met: See table
Also known as weathering steel, this high-strength steel develops a thin layer of rust over time in outdoor environments that protects the inner steel from corrosion. It’s commonly used in bridges, buildings, and fencing. Since it doesn’t require paint for corrosion resistance, this steel is lower maintenance for outdoor use than other steels. With a yield strength of 50,000 psi, it’s stronger than common low-carbon steels such as A36. Steel meets ASTM standards for corrosion resistance and strength.
