A633

ASTM A633 Structural Steel Plate

Leeco® Steel stocks and supplies the ASTM A633 structural steel plate, which offers stronger notch toughness.

Overview:

  • Normalized high-strength structural steel grade ideal for welding, riveting or bolting.
  • Available in four grades: A, C, D and E.
  • Exhibits greater notch toughness in low ambient temperatures than compared to as-rolled materials of similar strength.
  • Charpy test requirements for specific zones and climates may be requested.
  • May be multiple-certified as API or ABS specifications on Mill Test Report, but guaranteed to be certified to meet ASTM A633 standards.
