A36 Steel

General-purpose structural plate

General-purpose structural carbon steel (ASTM A36), with a nominal minimum yield strength of 250 MPa. It offers a balanced combination of strength, ductility, formability, and excellent weldability; it is supplied hot rolled and is easily processed by cutting, drilling, bending, and welding. For steel structures, bases, supports, frames, and machinery components. With excellent weldability and wide availability, it is the most widely used structural steel in fabrication and construction.
