Advantages
|
Advantage |
Description |
|
Good Mechanical Properties |
Combines strength (min. yield strength 36 ksi, about 250 MPa) and ductility, withstands significant loads and deforms without breaking. |
|
Excellent Weldability |
Easy to weld, enables convenient fabrication and assembly, reduces production costs. |
|
High Machinability |
Relatively easy to cut, shape and drill, facilitates production of complex parts. |
|
Cost - effectiveness |
More affordable than some alloy steels, suitable for applications where high - end alloys aren't required. |
|
Wide Availability |
Widely accessible in the market, ensures stable supply chain and reduces production delay risks. |
Packaging
|
Packaging Aspect |
Details |
|
Inner Packaging |
Wrapped with plastic film or kraft paper to protect from scratches, rust, and environmental contact. |
|
Outer Packaging |
Secured with steel strip or wire for shape maintenance; placed in wooden crate or on steel pallet for protection and easy handling. |
|
Labeling |
Clear labels showing steel grade (ASTM A36), coil size (thickness, width, etc.), weight, and manufacturer info for identification and traceability. |
