ASTM A572 Low Alloy Steel Plates

ASTM A572 low alloy steel plates are produced in Grades 42, 50, 60 & 65—the grades representing the yield strength. The most common grade we stock is Grade 50 low alloy steel plate which is produced up to 4” thick.

ASTM A572 is a high strength low alloy steel plate used in a variety of structural applications.  Anything over 4” is made to a Grade 42, although we often stock it modified to reach the 50 ksi min yield. On requirements for this please inquire. We also stock Grade 60 in limited quantities.
