ASTM A36 Structural Steel Plate: Versatile Carbon Steel for Building Frames & General Fabrication

Posted:2026-01-16 14:12:56

ASTM A36/A36M steel plate is a widely used carbon structural steel known for its reliable strength, excellent weldability, and broad fabrication adaptability. As a standard material for building frames, machinery bases, and general structural components, A36 offers stable performance across a wide range of thicknesses. Its low carbon content ensures good forming ability, making it suitable for cutting, bending, welding, and machining.
