Manufacturing methods and common uses of SA36 steel

How SA36 steel is made:
SA36 steel is manufactured in a similar way to most carbon steels.
First, iron ore and coal are mixed in a furnace.
Impurities are removed and alloying elements are added to the molten steel, which eventually solidifies into a rectangular ingot.
SA36 steel is generally hot rolled, which means that while the ingot is at high temperature, it can be formed to final size using rolls.

Common uses of SA36 steel:
SA36 steel is popular due to its relatively low cost.
The SA36 steel can be seen in many different industries and in a variety of applications.
Also, as mentioned above, its mechanical properties make it particularly suitable for structural applications.
Many bridges are constructed with SA36 steel.
Likewise, SA36 steel is often made into buildings due to its high strength and toughness.
SA36 steel is also used in components for the automotive, construction, heavy equipment and oil and gas industries.
