Carbon A572 in Plate
SPECIFICATIONS:
Castle Metals stocks a wide range of Carbon A572 plate distributed globally from our distribution centers in North America, as well as in the U.K, France, Singapore, and Shanghai. When customers call us for Carbon A572, sometimes they also share how they struggle with price volatility. A lot of times, Castle has options to take significant risk out of our customers' metal fabrication process which we custom design based on our customers' priorities.
Carbon A572 (ASTM A572) is a low alloy, high strength steel, popular for its strength. With a better strength to weight ratio, A572 steel is a natural step up from A36 when more strength is needed. The increased strength of A572 plate does not compromise the steels ductility and weldability. A572 plate can therefore be formed, welded, and machined.
