A36 is a low-carbon steel containing trace amounts of manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and other elements such as copper. A36 has good weldability and high yield strength, and is the structural steel plate specified by the engineer. ASTM A36 steel plate is often manufactured into a variety of structural steel parts. This grade is used for welded, bolted or riveted construction of bridges and buildings, as well as for general structural purposes. Due to its yield point, A36 carbon plate can be used to design lighter-weight structures and equipment, and provide good weldability. Construction, energy, heavy equipment, transportation, infrastructure and mining are the industries where A36 panels are commonly used.
