A871

ASTM A871 Structural Steel Plate

Ideal for tubular structures and poles, ASTM A871 is a structural steel with corrosion resistant properties.

ASTM A871 Steel Plate Overview:

  • Ideal structural steel for tubular structures and poles.
  • Available in two grades: 60 and 65.
  • Can be made to three types of chemical requirements: Type I, Type II and Type IV.
  • May be provided as-rolled, normalized or quenched and tempered.
  • Has atmospheric corrosion resistance and can be used in bare or unpainted conditions.
  • Thicknesses greater than 1 1/4" may be special ordered, but are not regularly stocked in our distribution centers.
