Why A36 steel plate is the top rated material in constructions

As we know, it is kind of carbon steel plate, so it’s not a expensive material which have very good
performance and strengths to bear the various kind of system pressure. With high durability and
even over period it could be recycled totally. Back to furnace and to make fresh steel products.

So, A36 steel plate is the base material for all the constructions and structural, it has the wide range
of applications and could be used for many purposes based on the thickness and corrosion
resistance of the alloy.

As a matter of fact, a lot of the manufactured products that use this A36 steel plate include
warehouses, industrial and commercial structures, buildings (including pre-fabricated buildings),
pipes, tubings, cabinets, enclosures, and housings.

Moreover, A36 steel could be made to various base construction materials.

ASTM A36 steel is generally available in the many forms i.e. it is available in rectangle bar, square
bar, circular bar and also steel shapes like angles, H-beams, I-beams, and channels. This steel plate
is also known as mild steel in South East Asian Region.

And below materials are listed in ASTM A36 standard specification that could be made in this kind
of carbon steel material.
