ASTM A 588/A 588M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel, up to 50 ksi [345 MPa] Minimum Yield Point, with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This specification covers high-strength low-alloy structural steel
shapes, plates, and bars for
welded, riveted, or bolted construction but intended primarily for use
in welded bridges and
buildings where savings in weight or added durability are important.
The atmospheric corrosion
resistance of this steel in most environments is substantially better
than that of carbon
structural steels with or without copper addition (see Note 1). When
properly exposed to the
atmosphere, this steel is suitable for many applications in the bare
(unpainted) condition. This
specification is limited to material up to 8 in. [200 mm] inclusive in
thickness.
NOTE 1 - For methods of estimating the atmospheric corrosion
resistance of low-alloy steels, see
Guide G 101.
When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the
grade of steel and intended
use or service is to be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A
6/A 6M for information on
weldability.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be
regarded separately as standard.
Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated
in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the
other, without combining
values in any way.
The text of this specification contains notes, footnotes, or both,
that provide explanatory
material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and
figures, do not contain any
mandatory requirements.
For structural products produced from coil and furnished without heat
treatment or with stress
relieving only, the additional requirements, including additional
testing requirements and the
reporting of additional test results, of Specification A 6/A 6M apply.
Footnote * - A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
