ASTM A709/A709M Grade HPS 50W Introduce
Standard ASTM A709/A709M steel covers high strength, low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates and bars. ASTM A709/A709M steel comes in a variety of grades, from the general purpose A709 Grades 36 and 50, to the higher-strength A709 Grades HPS 70W and 100, with added copper and nickel to improve the corrosion resistance of the material. The ASTM A709/A709M steel standard also offers several grades that include higher-strength, normalized grades (A709 Grades HPS 50W/HPS 70W/HPS 100W) for applications requiring enhanced toughness and corrosion resistance.
Smelting temperature:1676°C - 1291°C
