Carbon Steel Plate - A36 Hot Rolled
Description
A-36 is a structural quality carbon steel used in a variety of general construction applications. In addition to greater strength than A-283, A-36 plates can be used to design structures and equipment lighter in weight with better weldability.
Typical Application
Used in riveted, bolted, or welded construction of buildings, bridges and for general structural purposes.
 
Size Range Available
1/2" through 16"
