Material Properties of CSA G40.21 Steel Plate

CSA G40.21 steel plate offers excellent mechanical properties that make it suitable for high-performance structural applications. Below is an overview of the material properties for each grade of CSA G40.21 steel:

Grade Thickness Range Yield Point (ksi) Tensile Strength (ksi) Elongation (%)
44W ≤ 2.5″ thickness 44 64-90 20
44W > 2.5″ and ≤ 4″ thickness 40 64-90 20
50W All thicknesses 50 65-95 19
50A All thicknesses 50 70-95 19
  • Grade 44W: Offers excellent formability with high elongation, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate strength.

  • Grade 50W: Provides a higher yield point and tensile strength, offering enhanced structural integrity for critical applications.

  • Grade 50A: Features higher strength than Grade 50W, with added elements like Chromium and Nickel to improve toughness and corrosion resistance.


Chemical Composition of CSA G40.21 Steel Plate

The chemical composition of CSA G40.21 steel plate varies slightly depending on the grade. Below is the breakdown of the chemical composition for each grade:

Element Grade 44W Grade 50W Grade 50A
Carbon (C) 0.22% 0.23% 0.20%
Manganese (Mn) 0.50-1.50% 0.50-1.50% 0.75-1.35%
Phosphorus (P) 0.04% 0.04% 0.03%
Sulfur (S) 0.05% 0.05% 0.04%
Silicon (Si) 0.40% 0.40% 0.15-0.50%
Chromium (Cr) 0.70%
Nickel (Ni) 0.90%
Copper (Cu) 0.20-0.60%
  • Carbon: The carbon content is controlled to provide a balance of strength and weldability. Grade 50A has the lowest carbon content for improved toughness.

  • Manganese: Manganese is present in all grades to enhance strength and improve toughness. Grade 50A has the highest range of manganese for additional strength.

  • Phosphorus and Sulfur: Both elements are limited to prevent brittleness and ensure better workability and toughness.

  • Chromium, Nickel, Copper: These elements are found in Grade 50A to improve corrosion resistance and overall toughness, making it suitable for more demanding environments.
