Corrosion Resistance of A709 Grade 50CR Steel – Applications for bridges in corrosive environments

ASTM A709 Grade 50CR, also specified as ASTM A1010, is a utility-grade stainless steel which performs well in corrosive environments. To date, six bridges have been constructed in five different states across the United States, with more bridges planned. Material availability and compatibility with other common bridge steels have driven recent research addressing weldability, bolted connections, and galvanic corrosion. This webinar will provide an introduction to the material properties of A709 50CR, a summary of recent applications, and a review of recent and ongoing research.

The research being presented has earned Matthew Hebdon the 2019 Robert J. Dexter Memorial Award Lecture, as selected by the Steel Bridge Task Force Oversight Council of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA), and the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) T-14 Technical Committee for Structural Steel Design!
