What is ASTM A283 Grade C Steel Plate?

ASTM A283 Grade C is a low to intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plate grade specified by ASTM International (USA).
It falls under the A283/A283M standard, intended for general structural and non-pressure applications.

Key Features of ASTM A283 Grade C:

  • Yield Strength: Minimum 205 MPa (30 ksi)
  • Tensile Strength: 380–515 MPa
  • Good weldability and machinability
  • Suitable for low-load structures and fabrication projects

Note: It’s more economical but lower in strength compared to A36 or A516 Gr 70.

Applications Across Industries

ASTM A283 Grade C is commonly used in:

  • Structural steel fabrication – Beams, columns, braces
  • Industrial fabrication – Platforms, frames, enclosures
  • Oil & Gas non-critical structures
  • Bridges (non-load-bearing parts)
  • OEM components
  • General Engineering and construction steelwork

We supply both stock sizes and custom-cut A283 C plates for Indian and export projects.

Buyer Guide: When to Choose ASTM A283 Grade C Over Other Grades

Choose ASTM A283 Grade C if your project requires:

  • Moderate strength carbon steel
  • Non-pressure structural use
  • Economic material for large fabrication jobs
  • Good weldability and machinability

Consider switching to IS 2062, S275JR, or ASTM A36 if:

  • You need better regional availability
  • Project specs allow equivalent substitution
  • Price optimization is needed

For pressure vessel projects, select ASTM A516 Gr 70 or A285 Gr C instead.
