| 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.
