A252 Seamless&Welded Pipe Piles

ASTM A252 is the standard specification for nominal-wall cylindrical steel pipe piles, where the cylinder acts as a permanent load-bearing member or shell to form a cast-in-place concrete pile. The ASTM A252 specification has three grades: Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, of which Grade 2 and Grade 3 are commonly used materials.

Carbon Steel: Properties, Production, Examples and Applications

Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. For carbon steels, there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements, however, they often contain manganese. The maximum manganese, silicon and copper content should be less than 1.65 wt.%, 0.6 wt.% and 0.6 wt.%, respectively.

Types of carbon steel and their properties

Carbon steel can be classified into three categories according to its carbon content: low-carbon steel (or mild-carbon steel), medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel . Their carbon content, microstructure and properties compare as follows:

Carbon content (wt.%)	Microstructure	Properties	Examples
Low-carbon steel	< 0.25	Ferrite, pearlite	Low hardness and cost. High ductility, toughness, machinability and weldability	AISI 304, ASTM A815, AISI 316L
Medium-carbon steel	0.25 – 0.60	Martensite	Low hardenability, medium strength, ductility and toughness	AISI 409, ASTM A29, SCM435
High-carbon steel	0.60 – 1.25	Pearlite	High hardness, strength, low ductility	AISI 440C, EN 10088-3

PRODUCT DETAILS

A252
Seamless&Welded Pipe Piles Description

The
chemical composition of A252 steel pipe mainly consists of iron, carbon,
silicon, manganese and other elements, of which the carbon content is low,
only about 0.2%. A252 steel pipe piles has excellent mechanical properties,
high strength and toughness, tensile strength is generally between
400-550MPa, and has good low-temperature toughness. A252 seamless welded pipe
piles play an important role in petroleum, chemical industry, machinery,
construction and other fields.
