ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Coil For Building

ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Coil For Building

ASTM A36 carbon steel coils conform to the ASTM A36 standard. They feature a favorable balance of strength and workability. With a minimum yield strength of 36 ksi, these coils can endure considerable stress. Widely used in construction, automotive, and machinery industries, they are ideal for fabricating structural components and machine parts. Their good weldability also facilitates easy assembly.

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.

FAQ

 

Q: Is ASTM A36 low carbon steel or medium carbon steel?

A: Low carbon steel (C≤0.29%) has good weldability and formability, but its strength is lower than medium and high carbon steel.

Q: What are the yield strength and tensile strength of ASTM A36?

A:

Yield strength ≥ 250 MPa (36 ksi)

Tensile strength 400-550 MPa (58-80 ksi)

Q:What are the common thicknesses of ASTM A36 carbon steel coil?

A:Usually in the range of 4.78 - 15.9 mm (0.188 - 0.625 inches).

Q:How heavy is a roll?

A:Usually 3-10 tons, can be customized according to your needs.
