ASTM A588 steel includes Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class K. The ASTM A588 steel specification is based on the standard specification for high-strength low-alloy structural steel with a lower yield point of up to 50ksi for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.

A179 seamless cold drawn low carbon steel pipe is equivalent to China's No. 10 high-quality low-carbon steel. A179 is suitable for cold-drawn high-quality low-carbon seamless steel pipes for heat exchangers and condensers.

A36 is a low-carbon steel containing trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and other elements such as copper. A36 has good weldability and high yield strength, and is the most specified structural steel plate by engineers. ASTM A36 is most commonly manufactured as a variety of structural steel parts. This grade is used for welded, bolted or riveted construction of bridges and buildings, as well as for general structural purposes. Due to its lowest yield point, A36 can be used to design lighter-weight structures and equipment, and provide good weldability.

The differences between the, B and C designations are complex and related to structural tolerances. For steel mesh products, B500A grade steel is usually used, and for steel bars, B500B grade steel is used. B500C steel is rarely required, and it is always worthwhile for structural engineers to check whether B500B grade steel can be used instead of B500C, because B500C usually has a significant cost overhead.

H-beam is a new type of steel for economic construction. H-beam has economical and reasonable cross-sectional shape, good mechanical properties, uniform extension of each point on the cross-section and small internal stress during rolling. Compared with ordinary I-beam, H-beam has the advantages of large cross-sectional modulus, light weight and metal saving, which can reduce the building structure by 30-40%. In addition, because its legs are parallel to the inner and outer sides and the leg ends are right angles, the welding and riveting work can be saved by 25%. It is often used in large buildings (such as factories, high-rise buildings, etc.) with large bearing capacity and good cross-sectional stability, as well as bridges, ships, lifting and transportation machinery, equipment foundations, supports, foundation piles, etc.

Galvanized roof shingles are made of galvanized steel sheet used for roofing and coated with zinc. The zinc coating provides moisture and oxygen protection for the base steel. According to the galvanizing process, it can be divided into hot-dip galvanized steel plate and electro-galvanized steel plate. The corrugated design will improve its strength and enable it to withstand harsh weather conditions. Common designs include wavy, trapezoidal designs, ribbed galvanized roof panels, etc. It can be used as a single-layer board, covering an existing roof, or a steel sandwich panel.

En-8 (1040) It is an unalloyed medium carbon steel with reasonable tensile strength. It is usually supplied in a cold drawn or rolled state. Tensile properties may vary, but are usually between 500 - 800 N/mm. It is widely used in applications that require better performance than mild steel but cannot justify the cost of alloy steel. EN8 can be flame or induction hardened to produce good surface hardness and moderate wear resistance.

A572 steel bars are lightweight, but have good strength, ductility and workability, making them ideal for structural applications. These characteristics make the A572 relatively simple to shape into different structures, while maintaining the ability to withstand large stresses and loads.

ASTM A53 is a carbon steel alloy that can be used as structural steel or for low pressure piping. ASTM A53 (ASME SA53) carbon steel pipe is a specification covering seamless, welded black and hot-dip galvanized steel pipe from NPS 1/8 "to NPS 26. A53 is suitable for pressure and mechanical applications, as well as for general use in steam, water, gas and air lines.

PPGL steel is a durable, colorful and economical building material. It is the abbreviation of color coated aluminum-zinc plated steel plate, which is based on aluminum-zinc plated steel plate. The aluminum-zinc coated steel is then continuously painted in coil form. Due to its heat resistance and corrosion resistance, it has become a material for various construction purposes, especially roofs and walls.
