What is ASTM A36 Steel?

ASTM A36 is a low-carbon structural steel widely used in construction, pipelines, and industrial applications. It is known for its excellent strength, weldability, and machinability, making it a preferred choice for steel plates, angles, and channels.

Chemical Composition & Mechanical Properties

Composition: ASTM A36 contains carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon, ensuring a balanced combination of strength and flexibility.

Mechanical Strength: The minimum yield strength of A36 steel is 250 MPa (36,000 psi), with a tensile strength of 400-550 MPa (58,000-80,000 psi).

Ductility & Weldability: Due to its low carbon content, ASTM A36 steel is highly weldable and easily fabricated into different shapes.

Key Applications of ASTM A36 Steel

1.Construction Industry

Structural Frames: Used in beams, columns, and supports for buildings and bridges.

Steel Plates & Panels: Provides durability in flooring, walls, and heavy-duty structures.

Welded & Bolted Connections: Ideal for fastening structural components.

2.Pipeline Support Systems

Steel Channels & Angles: Provide stability in pipe racks, supports, and brackets.

Base Plates & Foundations: Offer strong reinforcement for pipelines and industrial structures.

U-Bolts & Clamps: Secure pipes in oil & gas, petrochemical, and construction projects.
