General Info About A572-42, 50, 60, 65

A572 steel is a high strength, low alloy steel with 5 yield point grades including grade 42, 50, 55, 60, and 65. As the grade number goes up so does the steel’s tensile and yield strength. This steel is extremely versatile and used in a variety of different industries due to its strength and weldability.

A572 and its respective grades are used in industries like construction, machinery, and automotive. It is typically used for structural builds where bolting, riveting, and welding is needed. Trucks and bridges are two examples of applications that utilize A572.

More Details About A572-42, 50, 60, 65

  • Advantages / Disadvantages

    Advantages:

    • A572 steel has better mechanical properties than A36.
    • A572 is easily welded.
    • A572 has a variety of grades that increase in yield and tensile strength.

    Disadvantages:

    • While A572 still has excellent formability, A572 may be harder to form than some other steels due to its alloying elements and high strength.
  • Industries

    A572 and its respective grades are used in various industries for its strength. It is commonly used in the construction, automotive, and machinery industries. This is also partially due to its ability to be bolted and riveted, as well as its weldability.

  • Applications

    Applications for A572-42, 50, 60, and 65 are many. Its most common application is in construction. It is also used to make machinery and heavy parts in trucks, bridges, and more.

  • Machining

    A572 and its different grades are rather easy to machine due to its carbon content. Its carbon content is between 0.05% and 0.25%. This means it is able to be cut through different techniques.

  • Welding

    A572’s ease of weldability is why it’s so commonly found in the construction industry and other applications that frequently require welding.

  • Heat Treatment

    A572 requires high heat in order to be produced. Temperatures must reach at least 1115 degrees Fahrenheit before the steel can be rolled. Heat treatment produces a more malleable steel that can be easily machined.
