ASTM A36 (Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel Plates)

ASTM A36 is a standard that outlines the requirements for carbon structural steel plates used in construction and manufacturing. It specifies the material's chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensions to ensure safety and reliability in structures like buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. A36 steel is known for its good weldability and strength, making it a versatile choice for various applications. This standard ensures that engineers and builders can trust the steel's quality and performance in supporting heavy loads and enduring environmental conditions.
