Introduction of ASTM A36

ASTM A36

Introduction

ASTM A36 is the most commonly used mild steel and hot rolled steel. It has excellent weldability and is suitable for grinding, punching, tapping, drilling and machining processes. The yield strength of ASTM A36 is less than the yield strength of cold rolled C1018, making ASTM A36 easier to bend than C1018. Generally, the larger diameter in ASTM A36 is not produced due to the use of the C1018 hot rolling wheel.

ASTM A36 can usually take the following form:

  • Rectangular pole
  • Square pole
  • Round rod
  • Steel shapes such as channels, angles, H-beams and I-beams.

Application

ASTM A36 steel has the following applications:
Bolts, riveting or welding for bridges, buildings and oil rigs.
It is used to form cans, boxes, bearing plates, clamps, rings, stencils, clamps, sprocket, cams, gears, floors, forgings, decorative works, piles, supports, automotive and agricultural equipment, frames, mechanical parts.
It is suitable for a variety of components obtained in flame cutting in parking lots, walkways, ship ramps and ditches.
