Scope of Application

ASTM A588 steel is known for its weather resistance. When exposed to external conditions, its corrosion resistance becomes stronger even if it is not painted. ASTM A588 steel has four times the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. The application of ASTM A588 steel is very wide. In addition to its typical application in welded bridges and buildings, this specification is also widely used in railway passenger cars; including transmission towers and telephone towers, trucks, bridges and gusset plates, and housing shells. ASTM A588 steel also maintains a good strength-to-weight ratio, meeting the high strength requirements of carbon steel with less weight.

Factory Appearance

Our company is the first wide and thick steel plate production and scientific research base in China. Our company was founded in 1970 and is my country's first wide and thick plate production and scientific research base. We have now become the main base for localization and import substitution of wide and thick steel plates in my country.
