Products Description
The ASTM A572 specification is the Standard Specification for High-Strength Low-Alloy Columbium-Vanadium Structural Steel for used in general construction and structural applications.
ASTM A572 includes five grades with specified minimum yield strengths of 42, 50, 55, 60, and 65 ksi, respectively. For applications where notch toughness is important, consult Gnee for specific Charpy V-notch toughness requirements. ASTM A572 grades are used in a wide variety of structural applications in many market segments.
