What is Transitioning to ASTM A992 Steel about?
- A992 is the new de facto standard for structural steel, replacing A572 Gr. 50. It has better material definitions with limits on properties like yield strength, tensile strength, carbon content. - A992 applies specifically to wide flange shapes, while A36 or A572 Gr. 50 should still be specified for other shapes. - Mills have been producing steel equivalent to A992 for years. It provides benefits like weight savings over A36 with no premium, simplifying designs and producing economies of scale.
