Introduction

ASTM A573 / A573M covers hot rolled structural quality carbon steel plates intended for applications requiring improved toughness compared to conventional carbon steel plates of similar strength levels. These plates are produced with controlled chemical composition and mechanical properties to provide excellent strength, weldability, formability, and structural reliability.

ASTM A573 carbon steel plates are widely used in structural fabrication, storage tanks, bridges, industrial buildings, pressure-retaining structures, construction equipment, material handling systems, and general engineering applications. The specification is particularly suitable for applications where notch toughness is an important consideration.
