What is ASTM A36
The A36 steel developed by ASTM international is one of the popular and widely used
carbon structural steels which is mild and hot rolled. ASTM A36 has ultimate welding
properties and it is perfectly suitable for punching, grinding, drilling, tapping and machining
processes. Unlike higher-performance alloys, these structural steel plate properties allow
the steel to be used in many applications.
So, A36 steel plate is the base material for all the constructions and structural, it has the
wide range of applications and could be used for many purposes based on the thickness
and corrosion resistance of the alloy.
As a matter of fact, a lot of the manufactured products that use this A36 steel plate include
warehouses, industrial and commercial structures, buildings (including pre-fabricated
buildings), pipes, tubings, cabinets, enclosures, and housings.
ASTM A36 steel is generally available in the many forms i.e. it is available in rectangle bar,
square bar, circular bar and also steel shapes like angles, H-beams, I-beams, and
channels. This steel plate is also known as mild steel in South East Asian Region.
And below materials are listed in ASTM A36 standard specification that could be made in
this kind of carbon steel material.
It consists of carbon (C) content 0.25 – 0.29%, Copper (Cu) content 0.20%, Iron (Fe)
content 98.0 percentage, Manganese (Mn) content 1.03 percentage, Phosphorus (P)
content 0.04 percentage, Silicon (Si) content 0.280 percentage and Sulfur (S) content 0.050
percentage. With excellent properties, this steel plate can be bolted, riveted and welded in
the construction of buildings, bridges, and buildings and for any general structural purposes.
