ASTM A36 steel is widely used in:
ASTM A36 is typically produced through hot rolling processes. Available dimensions include:
| Product Type | Thickness (in/mm) | Width (in/mm) | Length (in/mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mill Plate | 0.188 – 6.00 / 4.78 – 152 | 60 – 131.9 / 1500 – 3350 | 120 – 1020 / 3050 – 25910 |
| Temper Leveled Plate | 0.100 – 0.625 / 2.54 – 15.9 | 48 – 96 / 1200 – 2400 | 72 – 720 / 1800 – 18300 |
ASTM A36 steel has excellent weldability and can be welded using common methods such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW). It is also suitable for various fabrication processes including punching, grinding, drilling, and machining.
| Grade | Yield Strength (min MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM A36 | 250 | 400-550 |
| S235JRG2 (European) | 235 | 360-510 |
| SS400 (Japanese) | 245 | 400-510 |
ASTM A36 offers a balance of strength, formability, and cost-effectiveness, making it suitable for various structural applications. Its lower yield strength compared to some high-strength steels allows for easier bending and forming.
