SA36: A "versatile" steel in the engineering field

SA36 is a carbon structural steel under the standard of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It can be seen in many fields such as construction and machinery. It is based on iron and ensures that the steel has stable and balanced performance by reasonably controlling the content of elements such as carbon and manganese.

The yield strength of SA36 steel is not less than 250MPa, and the tensile strength is in the range of 400-550MPa, with moderate strength; at the same time, it has good plasticity and toughness, and can withstand a certain degree of deformation without easily breaking; and it has good welding performance and is easy to connect with other components. In addition, its processing performance is also relatively good, and it can be made into various shapes through cold and hot processing.

In terms of size specifications, the thickness of SA36 plates is usually 6-100mm, the width is mostly 1000-3000mm, and the length varies from 2000-12000mm; the diameter of round steel is generally 10-200mm, which can meet diverse engineering needs.

Due to its performance characteristics, SA36 is widely used in ordinary steel structures in the construction industry, such as industrial plants, warehouses, etc.; parts with less stress in the machinery manufacturing field, such as brackets and bases; it is also used in some cost-sensitive small engineering structures. It is an economical, practical and reliable basic steel.
