ASTM A242 weathering steel plate

ASTM A242 weathering steel plate

ASTM A242 steel plate is called the weathering steel plate, referred to the semi-killed or fully killed steel. It has good atmospheric corrosion resistance so the steel could be used in a lot of working environments. ASTM A242 steel plate specification is the standard specification for high-strength low- alloy structural steel for structural members where weight savings and atmospheric corrosion resistance are important.

Application

ASTM A242 steel plate application:
ASTM A242 steel plate high-strength low-alloy structural steel plates are for welded, riveted, or bolted construction intended primarily for use as structural members where savings in weight [mass] or added durability are important. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel in most environments is substantially better than that of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition. This specification is limited to ASTM A242 steel plate Type1 material up to 4 in. [100 mm], inclusive, in thickness.
