ASTM A572-50 is a high strength low alloy (HSLA) niobium vanadium steel. Compared with ASTM A36, it has higher yield strength and tensile strength. The higher tensile strength of A572-50 allows the thickness and weight of the section to be reduced when manufacturing parts, thereby reducing the total weight of the parts. When using appropriate technology, welding, forming and machine are easy.
ASTM A572 can also be used for 42,55,60 and 65 levels
A572-50 is used in transportation and other applications that require increased strength at a lower weight. For transportation operations, it provides added payload capacity with a lower increase in equipment weight, reducing operating costs. A572-50 is also used in the construction of bridges and buildings.
