Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. After heat treatment, the hardness and wear resistance can be improved.
2. When annealing, the hardness is appropriate and the cutting ability is good.
3. Its raw materials are very common, so it is easy to find, so the production cost is not high.
The disadvantages of carbon steel plates are:
1. His thermal hardness is not good. When used as a cutting tool material, if the temperature exceeds 200 degrees, the hardness and wear resistance will deteriorate.
2. His hardenability is poor. When water quenched, the diameter is usually maintained at 15 to 18 millimeters, while when not quenched, the diameter and thickness are usually 6 millimeters, making it prone to deformation or cracking.

Product Details

ASTM A36 belongs to American standard carbon structural steel and is produced according to ASTM-A36/A36M-2019 standard.
This standard is applicable to riveted, bolted and welded structures for bridges and buildings, as well as carbon steel sections, plates and bars of general purpose structural steel quality.

Use of ASTM-A36 steel plate:

ASTM-A36 steel plate is an American standard carbon structural steel with good cutting and welding performance. It is often used to weld large structural parts, large mechanical equipment parts, hydraulic machinery, lifting machinery, mining machinery, engineering machinery, metallurgical machinery manufacturing, atmospheric pressure vessels, etc. The steel plate can cut small workpieces, flame cutting or laser cutting.

Requirements for ASTM-A36 steel plate:

The steel plate shall be free of cracks, bubbles, scabs and other defects on the surface. The steel plate shall be delivered by hot rolling. The internal quality inspection of the steel plate shall be subject to ultrasonic flaw detection according to the American flaw detection standard A578. The flaw detection grade shall be Class A, Class B and Class C, and the surface of the steel plate shall be subject to anti-corrosion treatment, peeling, shot blasting, sand blasting, etc.
