High Strength Steel A572 Gr.60 Alloy Plate

High-strength A572 Grade 60 alloy steel plate designed for structural applications where a combination of high yield strength and good toughness is required. Supplied in plate, sheet and bar forms, this ASTM A572 high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel is produced in multiple grades (42, 50, 60 and 65) to meet a range of structural requirements.

Key features

• Available forms: plates, sheets and bars suitable for fabrication, machining and welding
• Grades: A572 Grades 42, 50, 60 and 65 (grade selection depends on design and code requirements)
• Typical mechanical properties for Grade 60 (as supplied):
  • Minimum yield strength: 60 ksi (415 MPa)
  • Minimum tensile strength: 75 ksi (517 MPa)
  • Minimum elongation: 16% (8" gauge) and 15% (2" gauge), as applicable
• Notch toughness: Charpy or other impact requirements should be specified at order entry when low-temperature or fracture-critical service is anticipated
• Quality documentation: Mill Test Reports (MTRs) and heat charts available on request to support traceability and project audits

Typical applications

• Bridge components, structural beams and columns
• General building and civil engineering structures
• Heavy equipment, welded fabrications and other load-bearing parts

Why choose this A572 HSLA plate

• Engineered for higher strength-to-weight ratios versus carbon steels, enabling lighter, cost-effective structural designs
• Readily weldable and formable when appropriate procedures are used
• Supplied with traceability documentation to support engineering and procurement requirements

For quotations and order specification, provide grade, dimensions (thickness, width, length), required toughness/impact testing (if any), surface finish and any special certifications needed. Mill test reports and other inspection documents can be provided with shipments.
