Description of ASTM-A572/A572M 2018ASTM A572/A572M-18Redline Standard: Standard Specification for High-Strength Low-Alloy Columbium-Vanadium Structural SteelASTM A572/A572MScope 1.1 This specification covers five grades of high-strength low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, sheet piling, and bars. Grades 42 [290], 50 [345], and 55 [380] are intended for riveted, bolted, or welded structures. Grades 60 [415] and 65 [450] are intended for riveted or bolted construction of bridges, or for riveted, bolted, or welded construction in other applications. 1.2 For applications, such as welded bridge construction, where notch toughness is important, notch toughness requirements are to be negotiated between the purchaser and the producer. 1.3 Specification A588/A588M shall not be substituted for Specification A572/A572M without agreement between the purchaser and the supplier. 1.4 The use of columbium, vanadium, titanium, nitrogen, or combinations thereof, within the limitations noted in Section 5, is required; the selection of type (1, 2, 3, or 5) is at the option of the producer, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser. (See Supplementary Requirement S90.) 1.5 The maximum thicknesses available in the grades and products covered by this specification are shown in Table 1.
(A) In the above tabulation, Grades 42, 50, and 60 [290, 345, and 415], are the yield point levels most closely
approximating a geometric progression pattern between 36 ksi [250 MPa], min, yield point steels covered by Specification A36/A36M and 100 ksi [690 MPa],
min, yield strength steels covered by Specification A514/A514M.
(B) Round bars up to and including 11 in. [275 mm] in diameter are permitted.
(C) Round bars up to and including 31/2 in. [90 mm] in diameter are
permitted.
1.6 When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service is to be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A6/A6M for information on weldability.
(A) Copper when specified shall have a minimum content of 0.20 % by heat analysis (0.18 % by product
analysis).
(B) Manganese, minimum, by heat analysis of 0.80 % (0.75 % by product analysis) shall be required for all
plates over 3/8 in. [10 mm] in thickness; a minimum of 0.50 % (0.45 % by product analysis) shall be required for plates 3/8 in. [10 mm]
and less in thickness, and for all other products. The manganese to carbon ratio shall not be less than 2 to 1.
(C) Bars over 11/2 in. [40 mm] in diameter, thickness, or distance between parallel
faces shall be made by a killed steel practice.
(D) For each reduction of 0.01 percentage point below the specified carbon maximum, an increase of 0.06
percentage point manganese above the specified maximum is permitted, up to a maximum of 1.60 %.
(E) Round bars up to and including 11 in. [275 mm] in diameter are permitted.
(F) Round bars up to and including 31/2 in. [90 mm] in diameter are
permitted.
(G) The size and grade is not described in this specification.
(H) An alternative chemical requirement with a maximum carbon of 0.21 % and a maximum manganese of 1.65 % is
permitted, with the balance of the elements as shown in Table 2.
(I) A maximum phosphorus content of 0.04 % and a maximum sulfur content of 0.05 % are permitted for the
following materials:
· Structural shapes · Sheet piling · Bars · Plates with widths up to and including 15 in. [380 mm] 1.7 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
(A) Alloy content shall be in accordance with Type 1, 2, 3, or 5 and the contents of the applicable elements
shall be reported on the test report.
(B) Product analysis limits = 0.004 to 0.06 %.
(C) Product analysis limits = 0.005 to 0.17%
(D) Product analysis limits = 0.01 to 0.16 %.
1.8 The text of this specification contains notes or footnotes, or both, that provide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory requirements.
(A) See specimen Orientation under the Tension Tests section of Specification A6/A6M.
(B) Elongation not required to be determined for floor plate.
(C) For wide flange shapes over 426 lb/ft [634 kg/m], elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] of 19 % minimum
applies.
(D) For plates wider than 24 in. [600 mm], the elongation requirement is reduced two percentage points for
Grades 42, 50, and 55 [290, 345, and 380], and three percentage points for Grades 60 and 65 [415 and 450]. See elongation requirement adjustments in the Tension Tests section of Specification
A6/A6M.
1.9 For structural products produced from coil and furnished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additional requirements, including additional testing requirements and the reporting of additional tests, of Specification A6/A6M apply. 1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
