ASTM A36 (Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel)

ASTM A36 is a standard set by ASTM International for carbon structural steel, commonly used in construction and manufacturing. It specifies the material's chemical composition, mechanical properties, and manufacturing processes, ensuring it meets required strength and durability standards. A36 steel is versatile and can be formed into various shapes, like beams and plates, making it ideal for building bridges, buildings, and other structures. Its balance of strength and weldability makes it a popular choice among engineers and architects in the construction industry.
