ASTM A588 Grade K Atmospheric Corrosion Resistant Steel

ASTM A588 Grade K is seen as an inexpensive and highly effective material to be used in structural applications which are exposed to the atmospheric elements.

How ASTM A588 Grade K Weather Resistant Steel Work

ASTM A588 Grade K oxidises with pollutants in the air forming a thick layer of rust; this formation acts as a protective layer which prevents the steel from corroding. The layer constantly regenerates and forms over time.
ASTM A588 Grade K weathering steel is therefore classed as being a 'self–protecting' steel. In normal use the material does not need painting or other external treatment any kind.

Applications of ASTM A588 Grade K Weather Resistant Steel

ASTM A588 Grade K weather resistant steel can be used in a wide range of structural applications. It is a commonly used product in bridge construction because of the lack of maintenance costs. It is also popular in modern architecture where the aesthetically pleasing finish is in great demand for sculptural buildings and fascias.
