Overview of A283 Steel

A283 is a low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel commonly used in a variety of structural applications. It is primarily known for its good weldability, machinability, and versatility, making it ideal for applications where moderate strength and good formability are required. A283 steel is used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and other heavy structures. This steel is available in different grades—A283 Grade A, B, C, and D—each offering varying levels of strength and toughness. The A283 steel grade provides excellent cold working properties and is highly favored in environments where ease of fabrication is critical.
