ASTM A514 steel is available in several grades: A, B, C, E, F, H, J, K, M, P, Q, S, and T, all of which have the same mechanical properties. ASTM A514 steel plates are conventionally quenched and tempered steel. ASTM A514 steel plate is known for its high yield strength, weldability and toughness, even under low temperature conditions. ASTM A514 steel is a special high-strength steel, mainly used as building structural steel.

ASTM A588 steel includes Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class K. The ASTM A588 steel specification is based on the standard specification for high-strength low-alloy structural steel with a lower yield point of up to 50ksi for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.

A572 steel bars are lightweight, but have good strength, ductility and workability, making them ideal for structural applications. These characteristics make the A572 relatively simple to shape into different structures, while maintaining the ability to withstand large stresses and loads.

A36 is a low-carbon steel containing trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and other elements such as copper. A36 has good weldability and high yield strength, and is the most specified structural steel plate by engineers. ASTM A36 is most commonly manufactured as a variety of structural steel parts. This grade is used for welded, bolted or riveted construction of bridges and buildings, as well as for general structural purposes. Due to its lowest yield point, A36 can be used to design lighter-weight structures and equipment, and provide good weldability.
