Applications of ASME SA709 Grade HPS 100 Steel
Bridge Engineering
Highway and Railway Bridges: Used in critical load-bearing components such as main girders, crossbeams, and gusset plates, particularly suited for scenarios demanding exceptional durability, such as sea-crossing bridges and bridges in frigid regions.
Replacement of Traditional Steels: Gradually replacing older standards like ASTM A514 Grade 100 due to HPS 100W's superior weldability and toughness.
Heavy-Duty Structures
Building Frames: Ideal for high-rise buildings, stadiums, and other structures requiring high strength and seismic resilience.
Lifting Equipment: Used in port cranes, tower cranes, and other machinery subjected to dynamic loads and harsh environments.
Marine Engineering
Offshore Platforms: Its resistance to seawater corrosion makes it suitable for nearshore or deep-sea platform structures.
Shipbuilding: Applied in high-stress areas such as hull reinforcements and decks.
