SA36 steel has good processing properties, including machinability, cold formability and weldability. Due to the good machinability of SA36 steel, it is widely used in the manufacture of various mechanical components.
In terms of cutting processing, SA36 steel can be processed by conventional machining methods, such as drilling, milling, turning, etc. However, the hardness of SA36 steel is relatively high, so some higher cutting forces and more wear-resistant tools may be required for cutting operations.
In terms of cold forming, SA36 steel is suitable for various cold working operations such as stamping, bending, and stretching at room temperature. In these operations, the plasticity of SA36 steel is very good, and good forming results can be obtained.
In terms of welding, SA36 steel also has good weldability, and can be used for various common welding methods, such as arc welding, gas shielded welding, etc. However, factors such as surface preparation, preheating, and controlled heat input need to be paid attention to before welding to ensure welding quality.
