ASME SA588 grade A material has high strength up to minimum tensile point 70ksi [485MPa] when thickness less than 100mm. As a leading supplier and exporter of SA588 grade A steel plates, we can supply SA588 grade A steel plates up to 200mm. The type of this material is available in plates, sheets,round bars and steel sections.
ASME SA588 specification covers three grades (Grade A, B, and K) high-strength, low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or bolted construction with atmospheric corrosion resistance.
