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 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.
