ASTM A588/A588M

A588 Weathering Steel is a high-strength, low-alloy steel with atmospheric corrosion resistance commonly used in bridges and buildings. The “A588” name comes from ASTM standards. This steel meets ASTM A588/A588M, forming a rust-like layer, reducing painting needs when exposed. It has strong tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability, ideal for outdoor sculptures, bridges, and structures.
