What is ASTM A36 Steel? (General Structural Quality Steel)

ASTM A36 is a standard specification for carbon structural steel plates under ASTM standards.

  • Designed for structural and fabrication purposes rather than boilers.
  • Offers medium strength with excellent forming and welding ability.
  • Recognized worldwide for versatility and affordability in engineering projects.

Buyers select ASTM A36 when they need reliable, cost-efficient steel for general construction and fabrication.

Applications of ASTM A36 Steel Across Industries

Construction Industry

bridges, buildings, and heavy structures

Fabrication Works

machinery frames, supports, and equipment bases

Oil & Gas

offshore platforms, storage tanks, and rigs

Shipbuilding & Marine

hulls, structural supports, and ship decks

Transport & Automotive

truck frames, rail cars, trailers

Industrial Equipment

conveyors, cranes, and structural components

Mechanical Properties of ASTM A36 Plates, Sheets & Coils

Property Typical Value Notes
Tensile Strength 400–550 MPa Adequate for structural strength
Yield Strength ≥ 250 MPa Provides stability in construction
Elongation 18–20% Ensures ductility for forming
Hardness (BHN) 119–162 Suitable for machining & welding

ASTM A36 provides a balance of strength and ductility, making it the go-to structural steel for global projects.

Chemical Composition of ASTM A36 Steel

Element Max % (Typical)
Carbon (C) 0.25
Manganese (Mn) 0.80–1.20
Phosphorus (P) 0.04
Sulfur (S) 0.05
Silicon (Si) 0.40

A36 is a low-carbon structural steel → easy to weld, machine, and fabricate for diverse applications
