SA572 grade 42 carbon steel plate sheet

SA572 grade 42 is a low alloy carbon steel plate widely used in structural applications. It conforms to the ASTM A572 specification, which sets the standard for the chemical composition and mechanical properties of this grade of steel.

The carbon steel plate sheet is designed to have a minimum yield strength of 290 MPa (42 ksi) and a minimum tensile strength of 415 MPa (60 ksi). It contains elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, columbium (niobium), vanadium, and trace amounts of other alloying elements.

SA572 grade 42 offers good weldability, formability, and notch toughness, making it suitable for various construction projects. It is commonly used in the fabrication of bridges, buildings, machinery, and general structural applications where high strength and durability are required.

With its balanced combination of strength, ductility, and weldability, SA572 grade 42 carbon steel plate sheet provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for structural components that require moderate strength and superior formability.
