ASTM A709/A709M A709 Grade 345 Type 3 Material Mechanical Properties
Yield strength is the maximum stress which an object can withstand before it is no longer able to return to its original shape. ASTM A709/A709M A709 Grade 345 Type 3 steel has a high yield strength, ranging from 380MPa to 690MPa, depending on the grade and alloy combination. This allows the steel to withstand tremendous loads without permanently deforming or losing strength.
