▇ ▍ Description
The ASTM A36 specification is the Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel used in general construction and structural applications.
Temper Leveled Plate: SSAB's Cut-To-Length facilities use the temper leveled coil (TLC) process to produce temper leveled plate products.
Coil for Conversion To: Coils are excluded from qualification to this specification until they are processed into a finished plate product and all required processing, inspections, and testing are performed. Coils For Conversion To product will be certified to chemistry only.
Mill Plate: Please inquire for plate dimensions outside the noted range.
Mechanical Properties
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction according to ASTM A6 requirements. The required tensile properties are tabulated below:
GRADE | THICKNESS (in) | YIELD STRENGTH (MIN ksi) | TENSILE STRENGTH (ksi) | ELONGATION IN 2" 1) (MIN %) | ELONGATION IN 8" 1) (MIN %) |
A36 | 0.100 - 6.00 | 36 | 58 - 80 | 21 | 18 |
Tolerances
Tolerances for Mill Plate:
Thickness, width and length tolerances for A36 plates are in accordance with ASTM A6. ASTM A6 Half-Standard Flatness tolerances are available for plate thicknesses of 3/8 inches to 3.0 inches.
Tolerances for Temper Leveled Plate:
Thickness, width and length tolerances for A36 plates are in accordance with ASTM A6. ASTM A6 Half-Standard Flatness tolerances or better are available for temper leveled plates. Flatness capabilities are determined by the processing line and the minimum yield strength of the material.
Tolerances for Coils for Conversion To:
For minimum gauge orders, thickness and width tolerances are in accordance with the respective ASTM specifications of A568 for thicknesses of less than 0.230 inches, exclusive, and A635 for thicknesses of 0.230 inches to 1.00 inch, inclusive. Thickness tolerances are in accordance with Table S1.1 found in each of the ASTM specifications of A635 and A568, respective of thickness. Width tolerances are in accordance with Table 6 of ASTM A568 and Table 3 of ASTM A635.
