ASTM A572 Grade 42 steel plate is an entry-level high-strength low-alloy structural steel, suited for general construction and light-duty engineering.
As a reliable ASTM A572 STEEL PLATE supplier in China, Gangsteel supplies quality A572 Gr 42 steel plate meeting standards like ASME, EN, JIS, and DIN. This high strength low alloy steel features good yield strength, excellent weldability, and moderate corrosion resistance, ideal for structural frames in buildings and machinery. For astm a572 gr 42 needs or upgrades to higher grades, our inventory ensures quick delivery and value pricing.
ASTM A572 Gr.42 is a high strength low alloy steel (HSLA steel) intended for structural applications with balanced strength and cost, without compromising on ductility. Alloyed with columbium and vanadium, it offers good formability. Used in A572 Grade 42 bridge steel plate for shorter spans and A572 structural steel in low-rise buildings, this grade handles static loads effectively. As a basic carbon steel plate, it's suitable for bolted or welded structures in general machinery and light towers.
Gangsteel's A572 Gr 42 steel plate complies with ASTM specs, providing consistent performance for entry-level projects.
