astm a36 steel plate is one of the most common grades of steel used in structural applications. this mild carbon steel grade contains chemical alloys that give it properties such as machinability, ductility, and strength that are ideal for use in constructing a variety of structures.
as a kind of carbon structural steel product, its relative products are round rod steel, angle bar, and steel sections such as i-beams, h-beams, angles, and channels. hot rolled astm a36 has rough surface on the final product, it’s easy for further processing like machining.
