Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between ASTM A572 Grade 50 and Grade 55?
A: Grade 50 has a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa, while Grade 55 requires 380 MPa. Grade 50 is more commonly used for general structural fabrication due to its balanced strength and weldability. -
Q: Can you provide mill test certificates for each batch?
A: Yes, we provide MTC (Mill Test Certificate) for every shipment, detailing chemical composition and mechanical properties. -
Q: What surface treatments are available?
A: Standard options include black (as-rolled), bright (cold drawn), and hot-dip galvanized. We can also apply oiling or passivation upon request. -
Q: Do you accept small orders for prototyping?
A: Yes, we accept orders of any quantity, from small samples to bulk container loads. Minimum order quantity may vary by size. -
Q: How do you ensure the rods are straight and have consistent dimensions?
A: We use automated straightening machines and laser measurement systems. Each rod is checked for straightness (within 1mm/m) and diameter tolerance. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for a standard order?
A: For standard sizes (10mm–100mm diameter), lead time is 2–3 weeks after order confirmation. Custom sizes may require 4–5 weeks. -
Q: Can these rods be used for welding without preheating?
A: Yes, ASTM A572 Grade 50 has low carbon equivalent value, making it suitable for welding with standard procedures. Preheating may be required for very thick sections below 0°C ambient temperature. -
Q: What is your export packaging standard?
A: Rods are bundled with steel straps, protected with plastic or woven bags, and packed in sea-worthy containers. Custom packaging is available for fragile surfaces.
