As a standard steel alloy, A36 steel is a common structural steel in the United States. A36 steel is under the standard of ASTM which is established by ASTM Organization in Europe.
A36 steel is produced in widely varieties of forms, such as plates, structural shapes, bars or sheets, depending on how it is going to be used.
A36 steel is readily welded by nearly all welding processes. Certainly, the most common welding methods like shielded metal arc welding( SMAW), gas metal arc welding(GMAW) and oxyacetylene welding are the cheapest and easiest.
Characteristics OF A36 steel:
A36 steel is included in low carbon steel that exhibits good coupled with formability. A36 steel is easy to machine and fabricate and can be securely welded. A36 steel can also be galvanized to provide increased corrosion resistance. Here are typical chemical properties of A36 steel.

Applications of A36 steel:
A36 steel can be used for many applications, depending on the thickness and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Some of the products made by using ASTM A36 structural steel plate are:
Buildings, including pre-fabricated buildings, warehouses, industrial and commercial structures.
Cabinets, enclosures and housings.
Pipes and tubing.
