Bethlehem Steel ASTM A656 Grade 50 Type 7, 3/16 to 2 in. thick, steel plate (discontinued **)
Categories:	Metal; Ferrous Metal; Alloy Steel; Low Alloy Steel; ASTM Steel; Carbon Steel; Low Carbon Steel
Material Notes:	A high strength, low alloy steel grade with excellent mechanical and fabricating properties. A656 is produced as a killed steel with fine grain practice, it is available in four strength levels. Normal uses are demanding structural applications where strength to weight ratios are maximized. Frequently used as a replacement for some quenched and tempered steel plate grades. Its formability allows replacement of multi-piece weldments with formed parts. Information provided by Bethlehem Steel Corporation Data published in 1997. Bethlehem Steel in no longer in business.
