A36 steel general information

The A36 steel specification was first issued in 1960.Today,engineers specify ASTM A36 for more structural steel fabrications than any other type of plate.Consequently,it is the most purchased hot-roll steel plate in the world and the least expensive of the commercial carbon steels.The heat ability reates very good welding properties, and the 36 ksi yield strength makes it acceptable for most applications.A36 is considered a mild steel due to it's relatively moderate hardness. It is widely used in the construction of buildings, bridges and other structures by means of welding, bolting orriveting. This steel is useful because of its wide availability.

ASTM A36 steel plate is one mainly of Carbon, A36 steel in plates, bars, and shapes with a thickness of less than 8 in (203 mm) has a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (250 MPa) and ultimate tensile strength of 58,000–80,000 psi (400–550 MPa). Plates thicker than 8 in have a 32,000 psi (220 MPa) yield strength and the same ultimate tensile strength.

A36 is a structural-quality mild carbon steel used in general construction applications including bolted or welded construction of buildings and bridges and common machine parts.such as Shim plates,Gusset plates,bridge plates,bearing plates,robot bases,column base plates,press parallels,press platens,tooling plates,machine plates,machine frames and pedestals,steel table tops,base plates,mold & die,machine mounting plates,etc.

we can put the A36 order to our steel mill directly or collect these goods from our stock directly, we also can cut or fabricate these goods as our customer requirement.
