A36 Hot Rolled Steel Plate

What makes hot rolled steel A36 different is its versatility. Not only is this grade easy to fabricate, but it can be formed hot or cold and used in a variety of applications, from structural components to machinery. Whether you are working on a large construction project or a smaller fabrication task, A36 steel will provide the reliability and performance you need.While the hot-rolling process gives A36 steel a rougher surface finish than cold-rolled steel, this characteristic does not compromise its strength or durability. In fact, the rough surface enhances the adhesion of coatings and paints, making it an excellent choice for projects that require an extra level of finishing.A36 steel has a lower yield strength than C1018, making it ideal for applications where moderate strength is sufficient. Its balance of strength, weldability, and machinability makes it the material of choice for engineers and manufacturers.
