ASTM A36 Steel Sheet / Plate
ASTM A36 steel sheet / plate for general welded, bolted and riveted structural work; order the exact product form, section, dimensions and supplementary requirements.
03Grade-product
Standards and supply condition
- ASTM A36/A36M material specification
- ASTM A6/A6M general requirements for the applicable rolled product
Manufacturing and processing
- Plate may be rolled directly or supplied as cut-to-length coil product within the ordered specification.
- Leveling, blasting, priming, cutting, drilling, beveling and forming must be stated as separate processing requirements.
Typical applications
- Base plates, gussets and connection plates
- Frames, platforms, equipment supports and general fabrication
- Building and industrial components designed to the applicable structural code
Quality and acceptance controls
- Match grade, heat number, product form, dimensions and ordered ASTM edition to the mill test report.
- Verify dimensional tolerances, straightness or flatness, surface condition, marking and traceability under ASTM A6/A6M.
- Order impact testing, ultrasonic examination, carbon-equivalent reporting or other supplementary requirements when the design requires them.
Include in your RFQ
- Exact alloy or grade and governing product specification
- Product form, dimensions, tolerances and quantity
- Delivery condition or temper and required surface finish
- Fabrication route, service environment and design standard
- Testing, inspection, certificate and traceability requirements
- Packing, marking, destination and required delivery date
Selection limits
- The grade does not by itself establish structural capacity, notch toughness, weld procedure, corrosion protection or suitability for a specific code.
- Plate, sheet, bar and structural shape availability and property limits vary with thickness, section and the current product standard.
