A572 steel grade covers five grades of high-strength: 42, 50, 55, 60, and 65. Its multiple favorable properties make it a staple for construction applications.
Grades 42, 50, and 55 are intended for riveted, bolted, or welded structures. Grades 60 and 65 are intended for riveted or bolted construction of bridges, or for riveted, bolted, or welded construction in other applications.
A572 steel applications:
Welded bridge construction, where notch toughness is important, notch toughness requirements are to be negotiated between the purchaser and supplier
A572 steel shapes:
Plates, sheet piling, coil, pipe and bars.
A572 Chemical composition:
98% Iron
0.23% – 0.209% Carbon
1.35% Manganese
0.040% Phosphorous
0.40% Silicon
0.050% Sulfur
