ArcelorMittal is
the worlds leading
steel and mining
company and the
largest importer of
wide-flange beams
in the United
States a market
which it has served
for more than 80
years. Our total
steel production
of 97.2-million tons in 2012, represents
six percent of world steel output and ranks
us first in the world for steel production.
ArcelorMittal employs 245,000 individuals
across 60 countries, including more than
36,000 in North America.
As the leading global provider of
structural steel shapes, ArcelorMittal
produces steel that is used in buildings
around the world, from tall towers to petrol
refineries, from airports to railway stations
and from shopping malls to residential
In 1990, ArcelorMittal introduced highstrength, low-alloy HISTAR steel to the world
market. Initially available in only Grades 50
and 65, the range of HISTAR was expanded
in 2011 to include Grade 70. Conforming
to ASTM A913 in the United States, HISTAR
steel Grades 50 and 65 are approved by all
major United States structural design and
fabrication codes: AISC (ASD, LRFD and
Seismic); IBC; AWS; and FEMA/SAC. The
sections produced by ArcelorMittal using
A913 steel have superior characteristics,
including high yield strengths, excellent
toughness and outstanding weldability. In
addition, they are available without paying a
price premium over our A992 or A572/50
steels.
A913 steel is perfect for gravity
columns, long span trusses, strong column
/ weak beam seismic designs and short
or medium spans where deflection is not a
concern. Later in this program, you will find
an extensive list of prominent projects on
which A913 steel has been specified.

* If welded with electrodes capable of depositing weld metal with a maximum

ASTM A572/50 and A992.
** currently only includes A913 Grades 50 and 65
If the design of an element is governed by a yield problem, increasing the yield of this element normally enables the designer to choose a
smaller size, thereby reducing the weight. However, if the design is governed by deflection or a vibration problem the design depends only on
the stiffness or the inertia and not on the yield.
The weight savings for column applications have historically been between 15 and 25 percent. For long-span trusses the savings are
often as high as 30 percent. In addition to steel weight savings, the fabrication, transportation, handling, erection and foundation costs of the
structure are also reduced. Particularly for heavy shapes the welding time and costs are reduced as thinner members reduce the weld volume
and ASTM A913 grades generally do not need to be preheated before welding allowing considerable savings of time and energy.
