a36 steel plate
A36 steel plate stands as a versatile and widely used low carbon steel product in construction and manufacturing industries. This standard structural steel grade offers an optimal balance of strength, weldability, and cost effectiveness. With a yield strength of 36,000 pounds per square inch (PSI) and tensile strength ranging from 58,000 to 80,000 PSI, A36 steel plate delivers reliable performance across diverse applications. The plate features excellent formability and machinability, making it ideal for various fabrication processes. Its chemical composition typically includes 0.26% carbon, 0.75% manganese, and 0.04% phosphorus, ensuring consistent quality and performance. A36 steel plate is particularly valued in construction projects, bridge building, industrial equipment manufacturing, and general fabrication work. The material's uniform structure and predictable behavior during welding and forming operations make it a preferred choice for engineers and fabricators. Available in various thicknesses and dimensions, A36 steel plate can be easily cut, shaped, and welded to meet specific project requirements.
