SS 400 steel is popular steel for proper tensile strength and toughness, good plasticity, welding performance and processing property.
It is know that A36 steel is SS 400 equivalent ASTM material. But do you know the other ASTM material A283 Gr C, whose
performance is also close to SS 400 steel. Is SS 400 equivalent to ASTM A283 Gr C steel?
First, let us check the chemical composition of SS 400 steel and ASTM A283 Gr C steel:
Grade C (t≤16mm) Si Mn P S Cu
A283 Gr C 0.24 max 0.04 max 0.09 max 0.035 max 0.040 max 0.20 min
Sometimes, SS 400 steel and ASTM A283 Gr C steel can meet demands of each other. However, it needs to know that though SS
400 equivalent to ASTM A283 Gr C steel, they are not totally the same.
