A36 Carbon Steel Plate

ASTM A36 steel is the most common low-carbon steel, and there are many equivalent steel grades in other countries. For example, the European standard is EN10025-2 S235JR; the Japanese standard is JIS G3101 SS400, the German standard is DIN17100 ST37-2, and the Chinese standard is GB/T 700-2006 Q235. The mechanical properties of these grades are similar, but there are slight differences depending on regional standards.

Chemical Composition
A36 steel is mainly composed of iron, but it also contains small amounts of other elements. Carbon is the main factor affecting the performance of steel. The carbon content of ASTM A36 is generally between 0.25% and 0.29%. Silicon and manganese can improve the strength and toughness of steel. Phosphorus and sulfur are harmful elements. The lower the content, the better. The following is a typical range of chemical compositions of A36 steel plates:

Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of A36 steel plates are critical to evaluating the safety and reliability of steel plates in structural applications. The following are typical mechanical performance indicators of A36 steel plates:

Application fields
Due to its excellent performance, A36 steel plates are widely used in many fields such as construction, machinery, bridges, ships and vehicle manufacturing. The following is a detailed summary of the application fields of A36 steel sheets:

1. Construction field
Building structure: A36 steel sheets are often used to manufacture frames, floor slabs, walls and other components of various building structures. These components are essential to improving the overall strength and stability of the building. In the construction field, A36 steel plates are favored for their good bearing capacity and durability.
Steel structure: A36 steel sheets are also often used to manufacture steel structures, such as steel structure frames, supports and connectors, which ensure the safety and stability of buildings in high-rise buildings, large commercial buildings and public facilities.

2. Bridge field
Bridge structure: A36 steel sheets play an important role in bridge construction. They are often used to manufacture bridge beams, beams, supports and other components. These components need to withstand huge loads and complex stress states, and A36 steel sheets can meet these requirements due to their excellent mechanical properties and processing properties.

3. Mechanical manufacturing field
Mechanical equipment: A36 steel sheet is also widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing. It is often used to manufacture bases, brackets, bearing seats and other parts of various mechanical equipment. These parts need to have good mechanical properties and wear resistance to ensure the stable operation and long-term use of mechanical equipment.
Heavy machinery: In addition, A36 steel sheet is also suitable for manufacturing parts of heavy machinery and equipment. These equipment usually need to work in harsh environments and have high requirements for material performance.

4. Shipbuilding field
Hull structure: In the field of shipbuilding, A36 steel sheet is used to manufacture hull plates, decks, bulkheads and other parts. These parts need to withstand the corrosion of seawater and the impact of waves, and A36 steel sheet ensures the structural strength and navigation safety of the ship due to its good corrosion resistance and impact resistance.
In marine engineering, ASTM-A36 steel sheet is also used to manufacture structures such as offshore platforms.
 

5. Vehicle manufacturing field
Vehicle structure: A36 steel sheet also has important applications in the field of vehicle manufacturing. It is often used to manufacture frames, axles, wheels and other parts. These parts have high requirements for the strength and toughness of the material to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle.

6. Pressure vessels and storage tanks
ASTM-A36 steel sheets are also used to manufacture various pressure vessels and storage tanks due to their good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. These equipment need to withstand extreme conditions such as high pressure and high temperature, and ASTM-A36 steel sheets can ensure the safety and stability of the containers.

7. Pipelines and transportation equipment
In the petroleum, chemical and other industries, ASTM-A36 steel sheets are used to manufacture various industrial equipment such as pipelines and conveyor belt brackets.

8. Other fields
A36 steel sheets can also be used to make large motors, housings and bases of various pumps, etc. These applications make full use of the good mechanical properties and processing properties of A36 steel sheets.

In summary, A36 steel sheets play an important role in many fields such as construction and machinery manufacturing due to their excellent performance and wide range of applications.
