A283 Grade A and A283 Grade B are both low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates used for general structural applications, but they have different mechanical properties. A283 Grade A has a higher minimum yield strength of 165 MPa, and a tensile strength of 310-415 MPa, with lower carbon content than Grade B. A283 Grade B has a minimum yield strength of 185 MPa and a tensile strength of 345-450 MPa.
