METAL GRADES

A529-50 Grade Steel

As a high strength Carbon Manganese steel, ASTM A529-50 can be easily welded, and its ductility and durability make it a common option for bending and stamping projects as well as heavy duty applications. A529-50 offers an increased yield and tensile strength over A36 with less weight and a thinner profile. ASTM A529-50 is commonly used in bridge components, high-rise buildings, machinery frames, and much more.
