Weathering Steel Gr. K plates supplier and exporter, Weathering Steel is specialized in manufacturing and exporting weathering steel A588 Gr. K plates and A588 Gr. K weathering steel coil directly. A588 Gr.K weathering steel coil is a high-strength low-alloy steel plate used in structural applications such as bridges and buildings. Its advantage over A572 50 is its weathering ability, which provides atmospheric corrosion resistance and ultimately longer life in applications where exposure to elements will be a factor.
Weathering Steel A588 Gr. K Plates Properties
Tensile: 70 ksi min (4 inch and under), 67 ksi min (4-5) 63 ksi min (Over 5-8)
Yield: 50 ksi min (4 and under), 46 ksi min (4- 5) 42 ksi min (Over 5-8)
Elongation: 16 percent min in 8 inch 19 percent min in 2 inch (for plates wider than 24 inch)in sheet.
Weathering Steel A588 Gr. K Plates Typical Uses
ASTM A588 specification covers high-strength low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars. A588 Gr.K weathering steel plates and A588 Gr.K weathering steel coils are likely to be used for construction of bridges, buildings, and other structures.
Why Chose Weathering Steel?
Weathering Steel is often referred to as Cor-Ten or A606-4 / A588. A588 Gr.K weathering steel coil is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting steel and to insure that the steel will form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the elements for a prolonged period of time. The net effect is that the steel creates a beautiful patina coating which also guards against future corrosion.
The corrosion-retarding effect of the patina is produced by a concentration of alloying elements in the steel. Amazingly, these alloys regenerate continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. When your steel arrives it is an unrusted state.
