ASTM A242 Specification PDF
What is ASTM A242 material?
ASTM A242 Steel is a standard for low-alloy structural steels that makes them better at resisting corrosion and higher temperatures. This Corten A Steel specification is usually met by steel plates that are up to half an inch thick. Most of the time, A242 is used to make structural steel.
What is the tensile strength of A242?
| Physical Properties | Metric | English |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength, Ultimate | 435 MPa | 63100 psi |
| Tensile Strength, Yield | 290 MPa | 42100 psi |
| Elongation at Break | 18 % | 18 % |
| 21 % | 21 % |
What is ASTM A242 equivalent to?
ASTM A242 type1 steel sheet Equivalent grades : ASTM A242 type1 steel sheet is the Equivalent grades as S355J2WP (1.8946) steel in EN 10025 - 5 : 2004 standard and FE510D1K1 steel in UNI standard and also E36WA4 steel in NFA 35-502 standard.
What is the difference between A242 and A588?
ASTM A588 grade A plate has a 50ksi minimum yield strength and a 70ksi minimum tensile strength. A242 plate is low alloy structural steel for structural members where weight savings and atmospheric corrosion resistance are important. The ASTM A588 grade A plate is equivalent to Corten A steel plate.
