ASTM A570, Steel, grade E, sheet and strip Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **Product Datasheet: ASTM A570 Steel, Grade E Sheet and Strip** ### **Product Overview** ASTM A570 Grade E is a **high-strength carbon steel sheet and strip** designed for structural applications requiring maximum yield strength within the ASTM A570 specification range. As the premium grade in this commercial structural series, Grade E delivers a guaranteed **minimum yield strength of 70 ksi (485 MPa)** through optimized carbon-manganese chemistry. This grade represents the practical upper limit of strength achievable with conventional carbon-manganese steelmaking without microalloying, providing significant weight-saving potential for structural components. It is specifically engineered for applications where high load-bearing capacity is paramount and where formability requirements are secondary to tensile performance. ### **Key International Standards** * **Primary Standard:** **ASTM A570/A570M** - Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, Carbon, Structural, Hot-Rolled * **Governing Specification:** Full compliance with Grade E requirements as defined in ASTM A570 * **Quality Classification:** **Structural Quality (Type 2)** - Suitable for parts requiring specified mechanical properties * **Material Condition:** Typically supplied in **hot-rolled condition**, available in various surface finishes including pickled and oiled (HRPO) * **Related Standards:** Comparable performance characteristics to **SAE J1392** grades and certain **EN 10149** specifications ### **Chemical Composition (Typical %)** | Element | Specification Range | Purpose & Characteristics | |---------|-------------------|--------------------------| | **Carbon (C)** | 0.25-0.35% | Primary strengthening element, provides high tensile strength | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 1.35% max | Enhances strength and hardenability, improves hot-working properties | | **Phosphorus (P)** | 0.04% max | Controlled for improved machinability | | **Sulfur (S)** | 0.05% max | Controlled for weldability and formability | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.30% max | Deoxidizer, contributes to strength | | **Carbon Equivalent (CE)** | Typically 0.50-0.60 | Indicates moderate weldability with proper procedures | ### **Physical & Mechanical Properties** | Property | Specification Requirement | Typical Values | Notes | |----------|-------------------------|----------------|-------| | **Yield Strength (min)** | 70 ksi (485 MPa) | 75-85 ksi (517-586 MPa) | High load-bearing capacity | | **Tensile Strength** | 80 ksi min (550 MPa) | 85-95 ksi (586-655 MPa) | Excellent structural integrity | | **Elongation (2 in)** | 15% min | 16-20% | Reduced formability compared to lower grades | | **Hardness** | Not specified | 85-95 HRB | Suitable for moderate wear applications | | **Modulus of Elasticity** | 29,000 ksi (200 GPa) | 29,000 ksi (200 GPa) | Standard steel modulus | | **Density** | 0.283 lb/in³ (7.85 g/cm³) | 0.283 lb/in³ (7.85 g/cm³) | Standard steel density | ### **Product Applications** ASTM A570 Grade E is specified for structural components requiring maximum strength within the A570 series: * **Heavy Equipment Components:** Boom arms, structural frames, and high-stress brackets * **Transportation Structures:** Truck chassis components, trailer frames, and heavy-duty vehicle parts * **Industrial Machinery:** High-strength bases, supports, and structural members * **Construction Equipment:** Excavator components, crane parts, and structural supports * **Material Handling:** Heavy-duty racking systems and storage structures ### **Advantages & Fabrication Notes** * **High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:** Enables lighter structures with equivalent load capacity * **Limited Formability:** Best suited for simple bending operations; complex forming requires specialized tooling * **Welding Considerations:** - Preheating (300-400°F) recommended for thicknesses > 3/8" - Low-hydrogen electrodes required - Post-weld heat treatment may be necessary for critical applications * **Machinability:** Moderate; requires appropriate tooling and speeds * **Surface Finish:** Mill scale standard; pickled and oiled available for improved paint adhesion * **Heat Treatment:** Not typically heat-treated beyond normalizing; may be stress relieved for critical applications ### **Industry & Regulatory Compliance** * **Certification:** Mill test certificates provided for mechanical properties * **Quality Assurance:** Meets ASTM A568 dimensional tolerances * **Safety Standards:** Suitable for applications requiring OSHA and ANSI structural compliance * **Traceability:** Full heat and lot traceability available ### **Technical Considerations** 1. **Forming Limitations:** Minimum bend radii typically 3-4 times material thickness 2. **Weld Preparation:** Clean surfaces essential to prevent cracking 3. **Cutting Methods:** Plasma, laser, or oxy-fuel cutting suitable; may require edge conditioning 4. **Corrosion Protection:** Requires protective coatings for exposed applications 5. **Temperature Limitations:** Not recommended for sustained service above 800°F (427°C) ### **Disclaimer** This datasheet provides general information about ASTM A570 Grade E steel. Specific applications may require additional testing or qualification. Always consult with material engineers for critical applications. Properties may vary slightly by manufacturer and processing methods. This material should be selected by qualified engineers familiar with high-strength carbon steel applications. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A570, Steel, grade E, sheet and strip Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4715 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A570, Steel, grade E, sheet and strip Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
