What is ASTM A709 steel grade?

The ASTM A709 is the Standard Specification for Structural Steel for Bridges and encompasses carbon, high-strength low-alloy, and quenched and tempered alloy steels used as structural plates in the construction of bridges. Gnee offers the following five grades of A709; 36, 50, 50W, HPS 50W and HPS 70W.

What is the difference between ASTM A709 and A36?
 ASTM A709 grade 36 is a bridge material wherein carbon adds to the strength and hardenability of the steel. A36 has less than0. 30% carbon and thus, do not possess high hardenability. ASTM A709 grade 36 steel plate has improved corrosion resistance and can be used in outdoor applications.

 

What is the difference between A572 Grade 50 and A709 Grade 50 steel?

A572 Grade 50 is dual certified to A709 Grade 50. A709-50 material is stocked primarily in flat rolled products, but is also available to a lesser extent in Structural and bar steel products. A709-50 / ASTM A709 is fracture critical and covers the requirements for structural steel for bridges and other structures.
