ASTM A588 Grade B plates are highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, superior corrosion resistance over regular carbon steel as a result of the development of a protective oxide film on the metals surface which slows down further corrosion. A588 Grade B material is a high-strength low-alloy weather steel which exhibits 50,000 minimum yield strength characteristic allows cost reduction through the ability to design lighter sections into structures.
ASTM A588 standard (also called ASME SA588)specifies high strength low alloy weathering steel for structural purposes, it includes 4 grades: A588 Grade A,
A588 Grade B,
A588 Grade C, A588 Grade K.

Certification and tests for A588 Grade B PlatesThese A588 Grade B plates are when manufactured by leading manufacturers, come across various tests and certifications such as flaring test, flattening test, radiography test, ultrasonic test and third-party inspection. Not only this, when these plates are delivered to customers various certificates are authorized such as mill test certificate, IBR test certificate, radiography test certificate and third-party inspection report. All these tests are done under the guidance and supervision of quality experts so as to check the quality and durability of these plates.
Packaging of A588 Grade B PlatesThe A588 Grade B steel plate is well tested and inspected and when it comes about the packaging process a complete care is given so that they don't get damaged. Moreover, to prevent these plates' damages and rusting, these plates are packed in best quality of pallets, wooden cases, boxes or waterproof wrappers. Hence, they remain in the same state and maintain their quality for a long time without getting damaged.
These ASTM A588 Grade B weather steel plates are designed primarily to be used in unpainted applications where a reduction in maintenance costs included such as painting. Since their development, weathering steels have been used in a variety of applications, including bridges, rail cars, crane, transmission towers, highway poles, chemical plant, factory and real health medical shipbuilding.
