What is ASTM A656 Grade 80 Steel?
ASTM A656 Grade 80 is a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel that is known for its exceptional strength and durability. This grade is part of the ASTM A656 specification, which covers five grades of high-strength, low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates, and bars. Grade 80 specifically stands out for its high yield and tensile strength, making it ideal for demanding applications that require a robust and resilient material. It is commonly used in construction and heavy machinery where enhanced performance and durability are crucial.
Grade 80 steel achieves its superior properties through a fine-grain structure, achieved by a controlled rolling process and precise chemical composition. The result is a steel that not only meets but often exceeds the requirements for structural performance, ensuring reliability and longevity in the most challenging environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
ASTM A656 Grade 80 is classified as a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) structural steel. Within the A656 specification, Grade 80 represents the highest strength tier, making it the go-to choice when maximum yield strength and structural integrity are the priority.
ASTM A656 Grade 80 offers a higher yield and tensile strength than many standard structural grades, such as ASTM A572. Its fine-grain structure, achieved through a controlled rolling process and precise chemical composition, results in a steel that not only meets but often exceeds structural performance requirements. Beshert also carries a full range of ASTM steel plate grades — including A572 Grade 55, A572 Grade 60, A572 Grade 65, and A516 Grade 70 — allowing you to select the right grade for your specific application.
Beshert offers a full range of processing services, including temper passing and cut-to-length, toll processing, inventory management, and shipping and logistics — ensuring your steel is production-ready and meets the highest industry standards. Beshert's Temper Pass is also renowned for being the world's largest, capable of handling steel sheet and plate up to 124 inches wide.
Yes. Beshert is ISO 9001:2015 — ASQ/ANSI/ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring every order of Grade 80 steel sheet and plate is held to the highest quality management standards from processing through delivery.
