Details about ASTM A656/A656M Grade 80 Carbon and Low-alloy High-strength Steel Coil

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties of ASTM A656 Grade 80 Steel

ASTM A656 Grade 80 is a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel with the following properties:

Property Value
Yield Strength (min) 550 MPa (80 ksi)
Tensile Strength (min) 620 MPa (90 ksi)
Elongation in 2″ (min) 15%
Elongation in 8″ (min) 12%

Chemical Composition (max %):
C: 0.18, Si: 0.60, Mn: 1.65, P: 0.025, S: 0.035, V: 0.08, Ni: 0.02, Nb: 0.10

Applications and Uses of ASTM A656 Grade 80 in Industry

ASTM A656 Grade 80 steel is commonly used in:

  1. Transport trailers
  2. Construction equipment
  3. Crane booms
  4. Mobile aerial work platforms
  5. Agricultural equipment
  6. Rail cars
  7. Heavy vehicle frames and chassis
  8. General fabrication

Manufacturing Process and Available Dimensions

ASTM A656 Grade 80 is produced through controlled rolling or thermo-mechanical controlled processing. Available dimensions include:

Product Type Thickness (in/mm) Width (in/mm) Length (in/mm)
Mill Plate 0.437 – 1.00 / 11.1 – 25.4 72 – 120 / 1800 – 3050 120 – 1020 / 3050 – 25910
Temper Leveled Plate 0.100 – 0.50 / 2.54 – 13 48 – 96 / 1200 – 2400 72 – 720 / 1800 – 18300

Welding and Fabrication Considerations for Grade 80 Steel

ASTM A656 Grade 80 has good weldability but requires careful attention to welding procedures. Common fusion and resistance welding methods can be used, but oxyacetylene welding is not recommended. Proper preheat and interpass temperatures should be maintained to prevent cracking.

Comparison of ASTM A656 Grade 80 with Other Grades

Grade Yield Strength (min ksi) Tensile Strength (min ksi) Elongation in 2″ (min %)
Grade 50 50 60 23
Grade 60 60 70 20
Grade 70 70 80 17
Grade 80 80 90 15

Cost-Effectiveness and Performance Benefits

While ASTM A656 Grade 80 may have a higher initial cost compared to standard structural steels, its high strength-to-weight ratio allows for thinner sections and reduced overall weight in structures. This can lead to cost savings in material usage, transportation, and installation, particularly in large-scale projects.
