A588 Grade K steel is a high-strength low-alloy structural steel, up to 50 ksi Minimum Yield Point, with atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Our A588 Grade K steel product is suitable for many applications in the unpainted condition. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of A588 Grade K steel plate is substantially better than that of carbon steels such as A36 and A572gr50 steel with or without copper addition when properly exposed to the atmosphere.

ASTM A588 Grade K steel sheet is 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. ASTM A588 Grade K weathering steel exhibits 50,000 minimum yield strength characteristic allows cost reduction through the ability to design lighter sections into structures.
