1. What is ASTM A36/A36M steel plate?
ASTM A36/A36M covers carbon structural steel, including steel plates, profiles and bars. It’s widely adopted for construction, bridge projects and all kinds of general structural works.
2. What is the yield strength of ASTM A36 steel plate?
For plates within 200 mm (8 inches) thickness, the minimum specified yield strength is 36 ksi (250 MPa). Different rules apply to extra-thick plates.
3. Is ASTM A36 steel plate suitable for welding?
Absolutely. A36 is a popular choice for welded structures. Just make sure your welding procedure matches the plate thickness, joint type and actual working conditions.
4. What thicknesses are available for ASTM A36 steel plate?
We normally stock sizes such as 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and 30 mm. We can also check and quote other thicknesses subject to stock and production schedule.
5. What is the difference between ASTM A36 and ASTM A572 Grade 50?
ASTM A36 is regular carbon structural steel with a 36 ksi minimum yield strength. A572 Gr.50 is high-strength structural steel offering 50 ksi minimum yield strength. Final choice comes down to your design load requirements.
6. Can ASTM A36 steel plate be cut to custom sizes?
Sure. We provide custom cutting service. We will work based on raw plate dimensions, our processing capacity and your technical drawings.
