What is ASTM A572 Grade 50 and A573 Steel?

ASTM A572 Gr 50 is a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) structural steel, offering:

  • Minimum yield strength: 345–355 MPa (50 ksi)
  • Good weldability and formability
  • Cost-effective for large fabrication

ASTM A573 is a structural quality plate used for pressure vessels, offering:

  • Improved notch toughness
  • Suitability for pressure vessels, tanks, and boilers
  • Available in Grade 65 / Grade 70 (on request)

These grades conform to ASTM A6/A6M dimensional standards and can be substituted with S355JR, S420, or IS 2062 E350C in many cases.

Applications of ASTM A572 Gr 50 / A573 Plates

Widely used across:

  • Bridge and highway girders
  • Offshore platforms and deck structures
  • Pipe supports, transmission towers, pole bases
  • Storage tanks, oil & gas piping systems
  • Structural frames for buildings and towers

A573 plates are ideal for tank fabrication, boiler shells, and structural pressure components where moderate strength and impact resistance are critical.
