ASTM A572 Grade 42 steel is commonly used in:
ASTM A572 Grade 42 is typically produced through controlled rolling processes. Available dimensions include:
| Product Type | Thickness (in/mm) | Width (in/mm) | Length (in/mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mill Plate | 0.188 – 6.00 / 4.78 – 152 | 60 – 131.9 / 1500 – 3350 | 120 – 1020 / 3050 – 25910 |
| Temper Leveled Plate | 0.100 – 0.625 / 2.54 – 15.9 | 48 – 96 / 1200 – 2400 | 72 – 720 / 1800 – 18300 |
ASTM A572 Grade 42 has good weldability due to its low carbon content. It can be welded using common methods such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW).
| Grade | Yield Strength (min ksi) | Tensile Strength (min ksi) |
|---|---|---|
| 42 | 42 | 60 |
| 50 | 50 | 65 |
| 55 | 55 | 70 |
| 60 | 60 | 75 |
| 65 | 65 | 80 |
