ASTM A588 steel plate application:
ASTM A588 steel plate is heavily used in a broad range of applications that include transmission and phone towers, freight cars, bridge and gusset plates, and housing enclosures. ASTM A588 steel plate also maintains an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, meeting the strength requirements of carbon steel while weighing much less.
