In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A606. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A606 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about what is yield strength.
Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Learn more about what is elongation.
Learn more about reduction of area.
Learn more about density.
Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A606 currently ranks 54 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 53 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.

What is ASTM A606?
ASTM A606 is a Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled, with Improved Atmospheric Corrosion ResistanceCategory
Sheet and StripScope
This specification covers high-strength, low-alloy, hot and cold-rolled sheet and strip in cut lengths or coils, intended for use in structural and miscellaneous purposes, where savings in weight or added durability are important.Ok let's start with ASTM A606 chemical composition.

Elastic Modulus
190 GPa (27557 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
0.27 – 0.30.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A606 currently ranks 54 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 53 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
