A588 Grade A steel plate is for high strength low alloy structural steel with 345Mpa minimum yield point to 100mm thickness.
When property exposed to the atmosphere, A588 Grade A is suitable for many applications in the bare condition.A588 Grade A could be produced in 200mm in our.
Reading the text: The sentence is cut off. It means A588 Grade A can be produced up to 200 mm thick. The 345 MPa minimum yield applies to plate up to 100 mm; ASTM A588 lowers the minimum yield for thicker plate, so check the certificate for heavy sections.
While you are seeking to buy Corten plate it'll be known as ASTM A588 stock lengths for ASTM A588 plate are 96" widths x 240" or 480". we can cut the lengths as required.
Sizes: 96 in is 2438 mm, 240 in is 6096 mm and 480 in is 12192 mm. These are the sizes listed on the page; confirm availability when you send an enquiry.
ASTM A588 covers excessive-electricity low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or bolted construction however intended ordinarily for use in welded bridges and homes in which savings in weight or brought durability are vital. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of this metallic in most environments is notably better than that of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition.
While properly uncovered to the atmosphere, this steel is appropriate for plenty packages in the bare (unpainted) situation.
ASTM A588 has A 50KSI minimal yield electricity and a 70ksi minimum tensile energy
Units: 50 ksi is about 345 MPa and 70 ksi is about 485 MPa.
Corten plate does not arrive pre-rusted weathering steel will rust clearly whilst uncovered to the climate.
A588 GRADE A Corten Plates: Purchasing Specification
| Requirement | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Grade and standard | Corten A (ASTM A242), Corten B / ASTM A588 Grade A or S355J0W (EN 10025-5); say which standard your drawing cites and any quality such as J0 or J2. |
| Thickness | Give the thickness range of your parts; minimum yield falls as plate gets thicker, so check the certificate for heavy plate. |
| Exposure | Where the plate will stand, whether it will be painted, and whether it stays wet or sees salt or de-icing chemicals. |
| Cutting | Plasma or oxy-fuel cutting to your drawing; give hole positions, edge preparation and tolerances. |
| Welding | A qualified procedure; for welds left bare outdoors ask for filler metal that weathers like the plate, and follow the mill’s preheat advice. |
| Documents | Mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1) with chemistry and mechanical properties, plus impact results if you specify a test temperature. |
Plate Burning and Cutting
CNC precision plasma burning
Cutting capacity: This block describes plate-burning (cutting) capacity: tables up to 10 ft wide and 55 ft long (about 3 m × 16.8 m) with oxy-fuel and plasma. Confirm cutting sizes and thickness with Champak Industries when you send a drawing; see our plasma-cutting service.
We provide custom length plate burning and components burning of metal plates.
Our tables can cope with elements up to 10ft extensive and 55ft period.
Each burning device is prepared with each oxy/fuel and plasma capability.
Now elevated abilities - new plasma burner
As much as 12ft extensive x 55ft length
es is available at an inexpensive charge, when utilized uncovered, exhibits accelerated resistance to atmospheric corrosion in comparison to unalloyed steels.
Cut-off sentence: This sentence begins in the middle of a word (“es” is the end of “plates”) and repeats the claim that the plates are available at an economical price. Price depends on grade, thickness, size and quantity; send an enquiry for a quotation.

Table heading: The table under this heading lists plate gauges and the two stock lengths; it contains no chemistry. A tick marks a length listed for that gauge, and an empty cell means none is listed. Availability is confirmed at quotation. For chemistry see the Corten B column on the Corten Plates page (C 0.19 max, Mn 0.80–1.25%, Cr 0.40–0.65%, Cu 0.25–0.40%, V 0.02–0.10%), and confirm the A588 Grade A limits on the mill certificate.
How the Four Corten Pages Differ
The four pages cover weathering steel, the type known as Corten, under different names and standards: Corten A, ASTM A588 Grade A, ASTM A242 and the EN S355J0W grade. All form a protective rust-like layer when left exposed to the weather; the pages differ in the standard they describe and the data they give.
| Page | What it covers | Typical use (from the pages) |
|---|---|---|
| CORTEN A | Corten A features and applications, with a chemistry table | Containers, rolling stock, oil rigs, harbour construction, oil platforms |
| A588 (this page) | ASTM A588 Grade A to 100 mm: 50 ksi yield, 70 ksi tensile, gauge and stock-length table | Welded bridges and buildings, bare (unpainted) structures |
| A242 | The original A242 alloy, with yield and tensile strength by thickness band | Rolled shapes and plates up to 4 in (100 mm) |
| S355J0W | EN S355 weathering grades with Corten A/B, SAILCOR, IRS M41 and JIS SPA-H names, scope and definition | Body structures, bridges, tanks and bins, exhaust systems, vehicles |
State the standard and grade on your enquiry; these names describe the same type of steel but are not identical.

A588 GRADE A Corten Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is A588 GRADE A Corten Plates?
ASTM A588 Grade A is a high-strength low-alloy weathering structural steel plate with 345 MPa (50 ksi) minimum yield and 70 ksi (about 485 MPa) minimum tensile strength, for welded, riveted or bolted construction such as bridges and buildings.
02What yield and tensile strength does A588 Grade A have?
The page lists a minimum yield of 345 MPa (50 ksi) to 100 mm thickness and a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi (about 485 MPa).
03What plate sizes does the table list?
The table lists 96-inch-wide plate in 240-inch and 480-inch lengths (2438 mm wide, 6096 and 12192 mm long) in gauges from 3/16 inch to 2 inch, with a further row for over 2 inch to 5 inch. Availability is confirmed at quotation.
04Does A588 plate arrive pre-rusted?
No. The page says weathering steel does not arrive pre-rusted; it rusts naturally when exposed to the weather and forms the protective layer.
05What is A588 intended for?
Welded, riveted or bolted construction, mainly welded bridges and buildings where weight savings or added durability matter, and many other applications in the bare (unpainted) condition.

Yes, with a qualified procedure. For parts left bare outdoors, ask for filler metal that weathers like the plate, and follow the mill’s advice on preheat and heat input.
07Which certificate should I request?
An EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing the brand and grade, heat number, chemistry and mechanical properties, plus impact results where you specify a test temperature.
08Can another brand replace A588 Grade A?
Brands of the same class are comparable, not identical. Chemistry, toughness, thickness range and processing advice differ by mill, so confirm any substitution with your engineer.
09Can A588 Grade A plate be cut to size?
Yes. Champak Industries lists full and part plate and profile supply and a plasma-cutting service; send drawings, quantities and tolerances with your enquiry.
