Alro - Carbon Steel Plate

Carbon Steel Plate
A36 Hot Rolled

Description

A-36 is a structural quality carbon steel used for use in a variety of general construction applications including; bolted, riveted, or welded construction of bridges and buildings. Minimum yield point is engineered at 36,000 psi. 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.
