What is ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate?
ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate is kind of atmospheric corrosion resistant hot rolled steel. ASTM A588 material is a kind of low alloy high strength structural weathering resistance steel, or corten steel, or atmosphere corrosion resistance steel . There is two grades they are ASTM A588 grade A, ASTM A588 grade B, ASTM A588 grade C, ASTM A588 grade K. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of ASTM A588 Grade B steel in most environments is substantially better than carbon steel with or without copper addition.
The ASTM A588 GR.B PLATES are the steel plates of the specification ASTM A588. These plates are having higher strength and are having low- alloy composition although it is structural steel. The steel plates of this grade specification are manufactured and supplied by the BBN Group.
Standard of ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate
ASTM A588: The specification covers high-strength, low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or bolted construction with atmospheric corrosion resistance.

Names of ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate
ASTM A588 Grade B steel, ASTM A588 Grade B steel sheet, ASTM A588 Grade B corten steel plate, ASTM A588 Grade B weathering steel plate, ASTM A588 Grade B weatherproof steel plate, ASTM A588 Grade B weather resistant steel plate, ASTM A588 Grade B atmosphere corrosion resistant steel plate, ASTM A588 Grade B anti corrosion steel plate, etc.
The steel category of ASTM A588 Grade B steel plate
ASTM A588 Grade B steel belongs to corten steel/ whethering steel.
Corten steel is a high strength weathering steel. The word "CorTen" is the trademark name given to a weathering steel alloy material originally produced by United States Steel.
Corten steel alloy falls into the category of those that were developed to reduce or eliminate the use of coats, primers or paints on the material to make it rustproof. When exposed to the environment, corten steel forms an outer rust layer that protects this steel from corrosion. This is the reason why corten steel is also called weathering steel.
