CHARACTERISTICS
ASTM A36 plate is a low carbon steel that exhibits good strength coupled with formability. It is easy to machine and fabricate and can be securely welded. A36 is a common structural steel plate that can be galvanized to provide increased corrosion resistance.
APPLICATIONS
A36 plate can be used for a wide range of applications, depending on the thickness and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Some of the products manufactured using A36 structural steel plate are:
- Buildings, including pre-fabricated buildings, warehouses, industrial and commercial structures
- Cabinets, enclosures and housings
- Pipe and tubing
