A36 steel Strength and Flexibility

A36 steel Essential for Structural Applications

A36 steel is a very frequently used mild- or hot-rolled steel. It maintains a somewhat rough surface and can be machined and manipulated using a variety of processes. These include multiple types of welding, as well as grinding, drilling, punching, and riveting.

Its flexibility and strength make A36 steel suitable for a full variety of applications, including fixtures, rings, forming tanks, bearing plates, cams, and gears, among many others.

A36 steel Strength and Flexibility

With a tensile yield strength of 36,300 psi and an ultimate tensile strength that ranges from 58,000 to 80,000 psi, A36 steel combines strength with flexibility. A36 steel can maintain its strength at temperatures ranging up to 650°F. This metal is excellent for welding and produces high quality welded joints. While A36 steel is a strong material, it is more easily bent than materials such as C1018 steel, as it has less yield strength.

A36 steel Composition

The following elements generally compose A36 grade steel

•  98% Iron
