Product Introduction

ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Structural Plates/Sections: A versatile steel suitable for buildings, bridges, and general structures.

Designed specifically for static load-bearing structures such as building frames, bridge components, and machinery, it offers an optimal balance between weldability, strength, and cost.

ASTM A36 steel is one of the most widely used structural steels worldwide due to its excellent comprehensive mechanical and processability. Its low carbon content ensures excellent weldability and cold working ability, while providing sufficient strength to meet the needs of most structural applications.

Certifications and Key Benefits

ASTM A36 Certified: Conforms to the ASME SA-36 standard.

High Versatility: One of the most recognized structural steel standards worldwide.

Custom Sizes Available: Thicknesses of 5-200mm (±0.15mm), Widths of 1500-3000mm.

Minimum Order Quantity 3 tons: Available in hot-rolled, sandblasted, or painted finishes.

Processing Guidelines

Cutting: Flame cutting, plasma cutting. Preheating is required for thicknesses > 50mm.

Welding: Manual arc welding (E7018 electrodes). Preheating temperature ≥ 50°C.

Drilling: High-speed steel drill bit, cutting speed 20-25m/min.

Cold Bending: Minimum bend radius = 2.5 times the material thickness (in hot-rolled state).

Quality Assurance

Mechanical Properties: Tensile and bend tests are performed on each batch.

Chemical Composition: Spectroscopic analysis ensures elemental content meets standards.

Dimensional Inspection: Full-size sampling measurements ensure adherence to tolerances.

Certifications: ISO 9001:2015, CE, AWS D1.1 welding certification.

Competitive Advantages

Global Compatibility: Recognized by major international standards and engineering specifications.

Process-Friendly: Excellent weldability, no complex preheating required.

Stable Supply: Widely produced by steel mills worldwide, ensuring a sufficient and reliable supply.

Delivery Time: 7-12 days .(Minimum order quantity 1 ton)

Logistics and Compliance

Packaging: Steel strapping with corner protection and clear labeling

Storage Requirements: Store by specification to avoid mix-ups

Documents Required: Material certificates, test reports, factory certificates
