ASTM A 656 Grade 80 steel plate is a high-strength, low-alloy hot-rolled structural product with an excellent combination of strength and formability and is intended for applications where increased strength-to-weight ratios are required. The combination of micro-alloying and thermo-mechanical controlled processing employed in SSAB's production processes offer an economical balance of high strength, formability, and toughness. SSAB ASTM A 656 Grade 80 is available as cut-to-length plate or as discrete, as-rolled plate.

Typical applications for A 656 Grade 80 include demanding structural applications where strength-to-weight ratios are maximized such as truck frames, transport trailers, construction equipment, agriculture equipment, crane booms, mobile manlifts, and rail cars.
