A36 is one of the most widely used grades of steel plate. A36 chemical composition: A36 steel carbon content is 0.25 - 0.29 % max, Si≤0.40,Mn:≤0.80-1.20,P≤0.040,S:≤0.050,Cu≥0.20.
A36 chemical composition, A36 steel carbon content:
A36 steel | A36 Chemical Compostion | |
Element | Content | |
Carbon, C | 0.25 - 0.29 % | |
Copper, Cu | 0.20 % | |
Iron, Fe | 98.0 % | |
Manganese, Mn | 0.80-1.20 % | |
Phosphorous, P | 0.040 % | |
Silicon, Si | 0.40 % | |
Sulfur, S | 0.050 % |
Such A36 chemical composition and A36 steel carbon content allows A36 steel to be easily machined, welded, and formed, making it extremely useful as a general-purpose steel.
