FAQ
Q: Is A588 the same as Corten?
A: A588 is a type of weathering steel that's renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance. With its unique ability to form a protective rust-like surface, it eliminates the need for additional coatings, reducing maintenance costs. ASTM A588 is also referred to as Corten® and covers structural shapes, plate, and bar.
Q: What is ASTM A588 steel grade?
A: A588 Steel Plate Overview:
Available in three grades: A, B and K. Often referred to as Weathering steel. Has properties similar to COR-TEN® steel. Ideal for welding, riveting or bolting in construction applications, primarily for bridges and buildings.
Q: What is A588 steel used for?
A: ASTM A588, in particular, is intended for use in applications where savings in weight, added durability and extended life cycle are paramount, such as welded bridges and buildings. ASTM A588 is commonly used to construct pedestrian bridges, highway bridge girders, ships, tanks, railcars, fencing and sculptures.
Q: What is A588 material equivalent to?
A: What is ASTM A588 grade A equivalent to? International standards for structural steel equivalent to ASTM A588 grade a are: EN 10025-5: S355J0WP.
Q: Why is Corten steel so expensive?
A: However, given Corten's longevity and lower maintenance needs, it represents a long-term investment. Mild steel is certainly a cost-effective alternative, but if a protective coating, such as powder coating or galvanising, is applied for added longevity, the cost comparison with Corten starts to level out.
