A36 steel, a low carbon structural steel, is important in the construction and manufacturing industries. It’s characterized by its less than 0.3% carbon content by weight,
· A 36 steel is easily machinable, welded, and formed, making it highly versatile.
· Its low carbon content limits the effect of heat treatment.
· lacks substantial corrosion resistance due to no nickel and chromium.
· Round Bar: 16-300mm diameter, standard length 6-9 meters.
· Steel Plate: 14-200mm hot rolled available in stock.
· Surface: black surface
