A572 Structural Steel Plate
What is A572 Structural Steel Plate?
ASTM A572 steel plate is a high-strength, low-alloy structural steel that’s easily formable, machinable, and weldable. An excellent strength-to-weight ratio means less material is required to get the job done.
North Shore Steel stocks A572 structural steel plate in a range of sizes, wall thicknesses, and finishes. With in-house metal processing capabilities, materials can be delivered in semi-finished or finished conditions upon request.
