ASTM A 588 Gr. C steel is a high strength low-alloy structural steel specification with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance for structural steel shapes such as angles, channel and beams, as well as steel plate and bars.ASTM A 588 Gr. C steel Description:ASTM A 588 Gr. C steel is intended primarily for use in welded bridges and other structures where savings in weight or added durability is important along with the longer life cycle due to its corrosion resistant properties.

ASTM A 588 Gr. C steel Application:The atmospheric corrosion resistance of ASTM A 588 Gr. C steel in most environments is substantially better than that of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, A588 Gr.C steel is suitable for many applications in the bare (unpainted) condition.ASTM A588 Gr.C Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel is used for various types of welded, bolted and riveted constructions e.g. steel frame structures, bridges, tanks and containers, exhaust systems, vehicles and equipment constructions.
