What Is ASTM A606-4 Steel Plates
ASTM A606-4 is a high strength, low alloy specification with improved atmospheric corrosion properties covering hot and cold rolled steel sheet, strip and coil intended for use in structural and miscellaneous purposes, where savings in weight and/or added durability is important. A606-4 contains additional alloying elements and provides a level of corrosion resistance substantially better than that of carbon steels with or without copper addition. When properly designed and exposed to the atmosphere, A606-4 can be used bare (unpainted) for many applications.
Three Types of ASTM A606 Steel
ASTM A606 Steels have enhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance and are supplied in three types:
Type 2 contains 0.20 % minimum copper based on cast or heat analysis (0.18 % minimum Cu for product check).
Type 4 and Type 5 contains additional alloying elements and provides a level of corrosion resistance that is significantly better than that of carbon steels with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, Type 4 and Type 5 steels can be used in the unpainted condition for many uses.

Where Does Orange Color Finish Come From in A606-4?
The orange-brown finished color in A606-4 comes mainly from the copper content. With 5% copper in the alloy mix, the copper immediately comes to the top as the patina process begins. Additionally, the copper along with manganese, silicon and nickel content in A606-4 creates that protective layer as the material continues to patina. Standard carbon steel will rust but it will not have the beautiful colors that come from A606-4.
