Properties
ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Properties
A36 is designated by its mechanical properties instead of its chemical properties. In the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) system, the A stands for ferrous metal, while the 36 refers to its minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. The properties and specifications for stock A36 steel plate provide a way to accurately assess the needs of your project with the capabilities of our A36 carbon steel flat, round, and square product options. You can find more information in our online Metals Guide A36 Carbon Steel Bar.

ASTM A36 Carbon Steel Advantages
Due to its low yield strength of 36,000 PSI, Brinell hardness of 112, and higher ductility, A36 carbon steel has increased bending capabilities over C1018 carbon steel, which A36 is often compared. In addition, the relatively low cost and weldability make A36 a popular choice for structural purposes. This includes the frames for bridges, buildings, vehicles, and railroad tracks. ASTM A36 carbon steel benefits include:
- Excellent welding properties
- Excellent Strength
- Excellent formability
- Mild Carbon Steel
- Increased bending
A36 Carbon Steel Applications
Whether cold bending, machining, punching, welding, or mild hot forming, A36 HR steel shapes provide a wide range of beneficial features for your industrial application needs. Some of the direct applications where carbon ASTM A36 is used include:
- Frames
- Gears
- Sprockets
- Bearing Plates
- Templates
- Tanks
- Machinery Parts
- Base Plates
