The mechanical properties of ASTM A335 p5 are impressive as well—it has a minimum tensile strength of 586 MPa (85 ksi) at room temperature with good ductility thanks to its low carbon content (less than or equal to 0.20%). Additionally, it has good impact toughness even at low temperatures (-150°F). Furthermore, this type of steel can be hardened through tempering processes which further increases its strength and wear resistance, making it ideal for applications that require high levels of durability, such as die manufacturing or automotive components that must endure extreme conditions over long periods of time without failure or significant degradation due to external forces or environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations or exposure to corrosive substances like saltwater/ocean air, etc.
