ASTM A572

ASTM A572 is a standard specification for high-strength low-alloy structural steel used in construction. It consists of various grades, primarily known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and good weldability. This type of steel is commonly used in buildings, bridges, and other structures where durability and performance are essential. The specification ensures that the steel meets specific mechanical and chemical properties, making it suitable for a wide range of applications while allowing for efficient design and reduced material costs.
